“NO, NOT AT ALL!”

 Romans 3:9-12                   (ESV)

No One Is Righteous

“[9] What then? Are we Jews any better off? “NO, NOT AT ALL”. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, [10] as it is written: 

        “NONE IS RIGHTEOUS, NO, NOT ONE; 

    [11]   no one understands;

        NO ONE SEEKS FOR GOD. 

    [12] All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;

        no one does good,

        NOT EVEN ONE.”

It can be extremely easy to look at someone else’s sin and condemn their actions.  When I find myself in that mindset, I have to adjust what I am observing.  My sins are so many and so heinous that I should have NO time to judge others!  We shouldn’t think that we are “good enough” based on our ancestry, social standing, man made titles, or anything else we offer other than JESUS!!!

Paul ask and answered a question that we ALL need to honestly think on!  “Are we Jews any better off” because of “who we are?  “NO, NOT AT ALL” was and is his reply!  The SPIRIT OF JESUS living within these temples ALMIGHTY GOD has loaned to us is our only hope.  But we aren’t as bad as some others?  YES, YES WE ARE!!!
