GOD IS FAITHFUL

GOD IS FAITHFUL

Passage: Romans 3:1~20   

Keyverse: 3

1. We are unfaithful (1-8)

The Jews had a great advantage for they had been entrusted with the very words of God. But they were unfaithful. Did their unfaithfulness nullify God's faithfulness? Not at all! On the contrary, it revealed God's faithfulness more clearly. Though every human being is a liar, God is true. However, we should not deceive ourselves saying, "let us do evil that good may result!"

2. There is no one righteous (9-20)

We conclude that both the Jews and the Gentiles are all unfaithful sinners as was already written in Psalms and Isaiah; "there is no one, not even one who is righteous. All have turned away." Therefore, by the works of the law, no one will be declared righteous in God's sight; rather, through the law, we become conscious of our sin. The only hope for us unfaithful sinners is the faithfulness of God who sent Jesus as he promised. Now whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life as he promised.

Prayer: Lord, we cannot be saved by the law which only condemns us as sinners. But you are faithful to send Jesus so that we may be saved by faith in Jesus.

One Word: Not by law but by faith in Jesus!
