All Have Sinned

All Have Sinned

Romans 3:9-26

New King James Version (NKJV)

What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.

10 As it is written:

“There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”[a]
13 Their throat is an open tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit”; [b]
“The poison of asps is under their lips”; [c]
14 “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”[d]
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17 And the way of peace they have not known.”[e]
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[f]

19 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 may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

God’s Righteousness Through Faith

21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all[g] who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Jeremiah 5:1

New King James Version (NKJV)
The Justice of God’s Judgment

“Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem;
See now and know;
And seek in her open places
If you can find a man,
If there is anyone who executes judgment,
Who seeks the truth,
And I will pardon her.

Isaiah 59:16

And wondered that there was no intercessor;
Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him;
And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.

Psalm 142:4

Look on my right hand and see,

For there is no one who acknowledges me;
Refuge has failed me;
No one cares for my soul.

Am I accepted before God?

Am I accepted before God?

As Christ is so are we in this World

1 John 4:17
New King James Version (NKJV)

17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

  • God judges us based on Jesus Christ
  • Is Jesus holy? Yes, so are we in this world
  • Is Jesus blameless? Yes, so are we in this world
  • Is Jesus Accepted? Yes, so are we in this world

All that He is, God has set to our account

  • Is Jesus Righteous? , NOT Am I Righteous?, because We are righteous in Christ

Romans 11:22

Equal access through Jesus blood

Equal access through Jesus blood

Equal access to every child of God

  • for the Fathers ear
  • Every prayer of a child of God enters in to the Holy of Holies

Because

  • Same blood which removed our sins tore the wail, for us to come in boldly
  • Wail was torn from top to bottom because, its God who tore the wail

Having High Priests access

  • In the Old Testament, only High Priests are allowed inside the Holy of Holies.
