The document discusses the concept of sin and salvation according to Romans chapters 1-3. It explains that all people have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. However, salvation is offered through Jesus Christ by God's grace through faith. Justification comes not by works of the law but through Jesus' blood. The conclusion is that all are condemned by sin, but salvation extends to all through Christ alone by grace through faith.

3. For all have sinned,
and come short of the
glory of God;
hamartanō--to miss the mark
4. “
”
All of us have past sins, all of
us!
All of us fail to hit the mark...the glory of God, that
is present tense.
5. • Do we see ourselves as
God sees us?
• Do we compare ourselves
to each other?
• Have we morphed into
the image of Christ?
(Rom.12:1-2)

the glory of God or to our
own pleasure?

hypocrisy
• Rejected the goodness
of God

violations of the law

God because of the
Jews
8. Romans 3:1-26
• All of US are
condemned under Sin
• Being a Jew was of no
advantage because of
their violation of
God’s law
• But under law there
was demand of
obedience, we are
freed from law
breaking by grace
ALL HAVE SINNED
9. WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE?
IN THE LAW, SIN
WAS REVEALED
NO
JUSTIFICATION
IN CHRIST, GOD’S
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS
REVEALED
JUSTIFICATION
BECAUSE OF HIS
BLOOD
Gal.3:19; John 1:17
11. “
”
We are justified (made just) freely
(we have nothing that we can pay)
by his grace (unmerited favor)
through the redemption (purchased
back) that is in Christ Jesus whom
God sent as a propitiation (mercy
seat) by his blood (the means of
redemption) through faith (the
vehicle by which we come to Christ)
Eph. 2:8-10
Romans 3:24-25
12. Conclusions
1. Sin Condemns us all. There is none righteous by his
own merits.
2. Salvation has been extended through Christ and is by
grace through faith.
3. Realize that God compares us to himself, thus the
need for his amazing grace.
