No on is Righteous Romans Chapter 3

How many times have you said to yourself, "I'm better than so an so."  Probably more than we care to admit, Better question, how many of us have heard someone say something along the lines of "when I'm right I'm right when I'm wrong I'm still right." I know I know and lived with and few people with that mindset. Both "Christian" and non-Christian alike. There are so many people with this mentality, this air of self- righteousness to them. This sense of superiority towards their fellow man. When in truth it is the complete opposite. That person you are just looking down on is just as wrong and just as sinful as the person judging them and even I who is writing this paper can be thrown into that sinful boat as well.

The reason why we would all be considered still sinful is because we do not follow God, now before you get upset and "I'm a good christian, I follow my fathers teaching unlike those heathens." or for the non-christian reply of " I'm not a sinner i'm a good person, I don't have to be a Christian" God's answer to both of those statements is that not you are not a good person and now you are not following his teachings or better yet his law. For he writes in Roms.3:10 "There is none righteous, no not one." 

Not here is where this chapter get's tricky and touchy for people. When God wrote this chapter through the apostle Paul he wasn't just talking about non-believers, he was referring to all of man not being righteous, both Jew and Gentile. Both Greek and Barbarian. For the Jews did not think the Gentile where is line to receive Gods gift of righteousness. Much like people in churches today pass judgement on who they believe belongs in their church or not. Because they either broke the law or the they knew not of the law so by that they were deemed unrighteous. So how could God bless them with his righteousness when they have shown to be unrighteous. How can God forgive them, but then promise to come and judge the world. Does that make God unrighteous? And if he does forgive of from sin and we are shown his righteousness why am I still considered a sinner? We are Christians,aren't we better than those other guys? If not why don't we do evil so that Go can show us forgiveness.

It is with that mindset that shows just like those who do do believe in him are just as sinful as those who don't know him. For no one is righteous, no one can understand the ways of God. The same people passing judgement had gone out the way just like those they judge and they too turned from the Father and because you are under sin, there is no doing good or being a good person. We are sin, we carry poison under our lips. Our mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. We focus on destruction and bloodshed and misery in our ways.

 

There was a time where we were God fearing people and we help him in respect, but now God doesn't see the fear n our eyes. We do not hold him in regard and follow his laws. The same laws that were given to the Jews, His chosen people and they did not follow them. These laws were guild lines to help recognize sin and change our ways so we may serve Him better. But God knew we wouldn't follow the law, for if we read the law we all would be found guilty one way or another. Because God knows whats in our heart and He knows we fall short of his glory. Therefore there is no "good deed" you could've done to not be seen a sinner by law.

But God made a way to fix this, by manifesting his righteousness without the law through the faith that is his son Christ die for the believer can non believer, for there is no difference who you are when it comes to sin. We are all of sin, but through redemption that is Jesus Christ by way of the blood, he declares is gift of righteousness for the remission of sin. and through this we are just and so is our justifer who believe in Christ 

SO knowing all of that how can you boast that you are better? What action or law can you chow that you are superior? There isn't one, for by faith we are justified with out the deeds of the law. Meaning that as long as we have faith in  God through Christ ALL are justified. I emphasize all because it does mean all, every nation by faith are given the Gift of righteousness.
