This document discusses how all people, both believers and non-believers, are sinners. It presents passages from Romans chapters 1-3 that state all have sinned and fall short of God's standards. While non-believers live according to sinful desires, believers also sin and should not judge others. The only solution for salvation is through faith in Jesus' death on the cross to pay for sins. Having faith leads to repentance from sin and a transformed life through God's kindness and forgiveness.

1. ALL HAVESINNEDLesson 3

2. ALL ARE SINNERS“As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one. "“” (Romans, 3: 10-12)We are sinners and we are can’t choose to do good.The Holy Spirit is the only one that generates…conviction that we are sinners.elimination of pride.desire of approaching Jesus to obtain forgiveness.a change in our lives.SINNER“There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans, 3: 22-23)

3. NON-BELIEVERS: Romans, 1: 22-27

4. NON-BELIEVERS:Romans, 1: 28-31Since sin appeared in our world, man has become corrupted and has fled from God. The only solution for every man is accepting Jesus as his personal Saviour.

5. BELIEVERSBelievers boast of not being like the “pagans” and judge them. Nevertheless, believers are sinning like non-believers.“You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment?” (Romans, 2: 1-3)

6. BELIEVERSGod judges the believers, too. He demands more from them, because they have more knowledge of the truth than non-believers.“Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and brag about your relationship to God; if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth--you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who brag about the law, do you dishonour God by breaking the law? As it is written: "God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you”(Romans, 2: 17-24)The only solution for the believers is to surrender to God every moment of your life.

7. There wouldn’t be hope for anyone if it wasn’t for God’s grace.Believers and non-believers, men and women, rich and poor... we all are sinners and are condemned.

8. GOD’S SOLUTION FOR THE SINNERThe justice of God means that anyone who has faith in the Gospel (Jesus’ death at the cross) will obtain salvation.“I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, {Or is from faith to faith} just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith” (Romans, 1: 16-17)When you believe in Jesus’ death by faith, it is that faith that leads you to trust God more and more. We have life and we are called righteous through that faith.

9. A sinner cans cling to the salvation God provided (Jesus’ death) by faith. That faith leads to repentance and to a change in his life.“Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realising that God's kindness leads you towards repentance?”(Romans, 2: 4)

10. “The Lord estimates as of supreme value the holiness of His people, and He permits reverses to come upon individuals, upon families, and upon churches, that His people may see their danger, and humble their hearts before Him in repentance. He will treat His backslidden ones with tenderness. He will speak pardon to them, and clothe them with the garments of Christ’s righteousness. He will honor them with His presence. In this, the great day of atonement, it is our duty to confess our sins and acknowledge God’s mercy and love in pardoning our transgressions. Let us thank the Lord for the warnings He has given to save us from our perverse ways. Let us witness to His goodness by revealing a change in our lives.”E.G.W. (Sons and daughters of God, September 10)
