EXPLORE The Roman Road – God’s Verdict (2)


Romans 3: 10-12
10As it is written:
"There is no one righteous, not even one;
11there is no one who understands,
no one who seeks God.
12All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one."

Questions and thoughts
- What do some Christians still act wrongly according to Bible? (eg: homosexual)
- Responding to the verses above: What, we are not criminal!

Insights
- no one who understands ~ intellectual (mental)
- no one who seeks God ~ motivational
- all have turned away ~ decisional
- they have together become worthless ~ level of value

1) Root/Heart problem vs Symptoms
Root/Heart problem ~ Human has turned away from God and this is the underline desease
Symptoms ~ envy, murder, adultery, arrogant…

2) Romans 1: 21-32 ~ Exchanges
- Creator vs Creation
- Truth vs Lie
- Natural relations vs Unnatural relations

3) Romans 1: 21-32 ~ “gave them over” x 3 times

4) Romans 1: 29-31 ~ the list of sins
- “big” and “small” sins are all listed in the list, these are the consequences of the real/root problem
