  • 2 Corinthians

    • 24:56Romans 3

      …the message He is sending you with. Don't forget that this message is the same message that led you yourself to become reconciled to God. As you looked at Ephesians 2, that you were dead in your trespasses. You look at Romans 3, that you had fallen short of the glory of God. But then you look at Romans 5, and you know that while you were still a sinner, Christ died for you. You look at 2 Corinthians 5 today, and you know that now you are a new…

  • Asking for a Friend

    • 17:43Romans 3:23

      And that's partly true, but the greater truth is that Jesus exchanged his life for our life. I think these truths mirror what Romans 3.23 says. All have sinned and fallen short of that glory. And so, I ask you what these three tragedies have asked. What will you exchange for your soul? Because you will find that there's nothing you have to offer God to redeem yourself.

    The Whole Story

    • 7:01Romans 3

      Paul even starts off Romans chapter one with basically the picture that God has given mankind over to the lust of his flesh as the discipline for our sin, just as, as a race of humans. Romans chapter three says we've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Romans chapter six says the wages, the paycheck that our life, our sin, our brokenness has earned us is death and eternal separation from God. Paul even…

    Love God Love People

    • 20:48Romans 3

      I deserve God's love. I would point you to verses like Romans 3 that says, all have sinned. And let me, let me couch sin in this love language. When you sin and when I sin, we are saying to God, I refuse to experience your love in a way that is godly. Your sin is rejection of God's love. So for the one in our midst who say, well, I deserve God's love. No, you don't.

    Micah

      of Micah. Woe is me how miserable I am because I am depraved of heart. It's not just an Old Testament theme, the New Testament echoes the same. Romans 3, 23. Paul would declare all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. How miserable we are because we are depraved by nature. This is the what of salvation. This is the need that we have. And some of you right now saying, Amen,

    Kings and Kingdoms

    • 38:24Romans 3

      …to cover our sin. And to leave you with a blueprint for the gospel. That there is this truth that you are a sinner in need of a great Savior. And maybe you're here today and you've never given your life to Christ. And Romans 3, 23 says that we've all sinned. That we've all fallen short because everyone has cracks in their lives.

  • Ecclesiastes

    • 11:58Romans 3:23

      Scriptures tell us that we're all sinners and therefore we all deserve death. In Romans 3.23, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. And then later in the book of Romans, we are told in chapter 6.23 that the wages of sin is death. But God doesn't want us to live eternally in the valley of the shadow of death. If we're all going to die, what's the purpose of this life? Why even try?

      So God will allow us to slip through the back door because we're not the worst of the worst. Surely not us. Well, when you have time, go read Romans 3. And in Romans 3, Paul says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. There is not a single person in here that is not in that group. We deserve God's wrath. And even more, Jesus himself said that God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world,

  • When in Romans: Gift or Grit? (Romans 4:1-5)

    February 11, 2024 · Dr Josh Burnham

    When in Romans

    • 21:34Romans 3:22

      See, you can believe what God says is true. Because what he says is true will come to pass. Last week in Romans chapter 3, verse 22, Pastor Jared reminded us that the righteousness of the Lord is an imputed righteousness. It means it's given. It's righteousness that is not earned. God gives that because you believe in him by faith. Sound familiar? It was credited to Abraham's account of righteousness. Why?

  • When in Romans

    • 2:45Romans 3

      And today we're going to be continuing our time in this book, and we will be in chapter 3. Romans chapter 3. But what have we read up until now? What have we studied, or what have we learned? Now, the past two weeks, we've been in Romans chapter 1. And right from the beginning, Paul introduces the gospel. And he writes that the gospel is worth everything.

    • 8:45Romans 3

      Romans chapter 3, starting in verse 21. If you've got your Bible, I'd invite you to turn there. Romans 3, 21. It says this. Paul writes, But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, attested by the law and the prophets. The righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe, since there is no distinction. For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

    Firm Foundation

    • 29:15Romans 3

      A perfect, holy, and just God requires a just payment for our sins. Not more, but certainly not less. And for those who would say, well, that's not me. My sin's not that bad and I'm not a sinner. Romans speaks to our hearts. And Romans 3 would say that all have sins and fallen short of the glory of God. And in case you think the word of God does not apply to you, raise your hand if you think you're not at all.

You ready for this verse? Romans 3, 26. Now, Romans 3, a lot of major things in Romans 3. It talks about sin, that all have sinned and fallen short.

Forgive me in your handout that's a typographical error there. It's Romans 3:23, not Romans 2:23. That's on me, but we corrected it on the screen because the Bible says, "For all has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." That means every person in here,

    • 6:49Romans 3:10

      The ultimate consequence and penalty, which is death separated from the love of God. But Jesus said it best in John 8, verse 34. He says, Truly, truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is slave of sin. But Paul points out to us in Romans chapter 3, verse 10, there is none righteous, no, not one. Sin is man's captor. We are captured by sin. Slaved owner. It demands a price to be released.

But notice with me Romans chapter 3, verse 24. Now, Romans chapter 3, verse 23, most of us know that one, you know, right? For all is sin, it comes short of the glory of God. We stop at the water's edge right there, do we not? Oftentimes, but look what verse 24 has…

He shared with us in Romans chapter 3 that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, that there are none that seek God. There are none righteous, no, not one, none that seek after him. We find out how desperate and destitute we were when we read…

    • 13:27Romans 3

      We find out how desperate and destitute we were when we read Romans chapter 3. And we continue on to understand in those first 11 chapters of Romans that we as believers have absolutely nothing to do with what God is doing. He's doing it because he loves us. He's doing it out of his mercies, Paul says in Romans chapter 12. So he says, I challenge you.

Jesus is the only person that has not sinned. Romans 3.20 tells us that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Not only that, it tells us that none seek him, not one, nobody even seeks after God.

    • 9:52Romans 3

      Everyone has sinned, and no one is free from sin. That's a fundamental truth. Paul speaks to that in Romans 3, verse 22, when he says, There is no distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. All have sinned. That's a fundamental truth. Let me tell you, Plegrian thought that everybody had enough good in them that they could choose and that they could do things that nobody said.

    • 12:48Romans 3

      …There's nobody in the universe that's ever been more worthier than anybody else than Jesus himself, other than Jesus himself. So not only is that a fundamental truth, here's another one. Everyone's disappointed God. In Romans 3, chapter 9, what then, are we better than they? Not at all. For we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin. There is none righteous, not even one.
