DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Guilty!
Romans 3:19-20
"Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world my become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh shall be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin."
Knowledge of law of God – whether the written law of the Old Covenant or the innate law written on our hearts – stands as witness against us because even though we knew what was right, no one has lived up that standard. We are all guilty of violating God's law and done things we knew were wrong. Even if I could boast that I obeyed what I knew was right 90% of the time, I would still be guilty of the other 10%. Truly, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). I will never be justified by keeping 90% of the law. Thank God for Jesus, who did not come into the world to condemn the world, but that all the world could be saved (John 3:17). I need a Savior!
TODAY'S THOUGHT: No one will every be justified before God by keeping some of God's law because
there is always the part we don't keep.
Have a Jesus day. Love you.
