Nobody Righteous

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. Romans 3:10-11

I think one of the hardest concepts for people to understand is that nobody is righteous, we are all wretched sinners. People have a tendency to believe that they are “good”. And from the outside things might look good, you might do a good deed here or there, you might never have killed anyone, however when we look under the hood, we all need a Savior

If God is just then every sin against God needs to be punished, correct? If God allowed some things to go, would that really be just for those in hell? This is when you understand what Jesus did for us on the cross! He took the punishment for our sins, the wrath of God was poured upon him in your place!

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. Romans 3:12-18

This pretty much sums up most people, their mouths are full of cursing and they have no fear of God. They don’t care about God, all they care about is pleasing their flesh. We are carnally minded people which is why nobody is righteous. Without the Holy Spirit we are like human animals seeking after pleasures of the flesh

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 3:23-24

But through Jesus , not only will you be forgiven for your sins, but you will also become “Born Again”. You say how can this happen? When you repent and receive Christ as your Lord, you will become baptized by the Holy Spirit. God will live inside of you, and transform you into a new creature Amen!

Moral Law

For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Romans 2:14

The atheist says “I cant be judged by God because I don’t believe in God” this is a strawman argument, the same as saying “I cant be given a traffic ticket because I don’t believe a cop exists or I don’t believe the traffic laws”

We instinctively know right from wrong, anyone who denies that is either lying or foolish. You know its wrong to murder or rape, you don’t need to be religious to know this. You don’t need a law to tell you murder and rape are wrong, you instinctively know this. If you look at the majority of nations, all would agree rape and murder are wrong

This is what the Apostle Paul was teaching here, the Gentiles didn’t have the Torah “Gods Law” taught to them yet they instinctively know Gods Law. Why? Because God has a moral law that is written in our hearts. Some fail to listen to their conscience while others come to The Lord in true repentance

Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) Romans 2:15

We have a conscience because we have the Law of God written in our hearts. Often when people are guilty of crimes their conscience torments them because they know what their doing is evil. Right and Wrong, Good or Evil is not subjective

Hitler believed he was justified however we know Hitler was evil, why? Because we know the Law of God. If there is no God then there is no Law, then everything would be subjective. But because we know there is a Law of Good and Evil we know God does exist

Listen to your conscience, repent of your sins and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved Amen!

No Excuse

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Romans 1:20

Atheists demand evidence for the existence of God yet they deny all the evidence around them. This is what the Apostle Paul writes under inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the evidence of Gods creation is clearly seen and known, therefor nobody has an excuse to deny God the Creator.

You don’t have to be religious or have vast knowledge of the Bible to know God exists. The universe had a beginning, which was confirmed by Albert Einstein in his theory of relativity in the early 1900’s. Nothing can’t create anything, 0 + 0 will always = 0 Because we have a Creation there is evidence of a Creator

In the KJV translation we also see that a Godhead is defined (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) As we know from Creation that God said “Let US make man in OUR image” (Genesis 1:26) The Godhead of US is defined, God didn’t say “Let Me Make Man in MY image” because God is Triune in nature.

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:21

Because there is clear evidence of God existence, people clearly reject God by choice. Therefor as state we will not be with excuse on judgement day. When you stand before your Creator, you will not be able to say “Nobody told me”, “I didn’t know” because we were made in the Image of God. Meaning we were born with intelligence above all mammals. You have a brain capable of thinking, reasoning, and emotion. If you never use your brain to ponder your existence, who’s fault is that?

We can come to have a personal relationship with our Father and Creator through our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!

He Is Risen

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. Luke 24:6-7

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ changed everything! The greatest moment in the history of humanity , when Jesus defeated sin and death. When Jesus walked out of that grave, are you following him in victory? Or are you left dead in your sins in the tomb?

Satan believed he defeated God, but what he did was fulfill the atonement for our sins. Jesus came as the Lamb of God, to take away the sins of the world. He’s coming back as the Lion of Judah, the power of Gods salvation was demonstrated at the resurrection

And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. Luke 24:15

Notice when the disciples “communed” together Jesus was with them! This is the power of communion, this is the power of Christian fellowship, as believers come together to remember their Lord he draws near to them also

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. Luke 24:27

Jesus explained to his disciples how the entire “Old Testament” was all about him! Beginning at Moses which means the Torah (the first five books of the Bible) Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy to all the prophets. Jesus validates the scriptures as the Word of God, the Resurrection validates all of this

And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. Luke 24:30-31

Notice when did the disciples finally realize Christ was in their presence? It was during communion, when they broke bread with Jesus they recognized him. This story shows you the importance of Communion, it also shows you the Bible is the Word of God, it also shows you Jesus has defeated Sin and Death Amen!

Into His Hands

And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost Luke 23:46

Before Jesus took his last breathe on the cross, He said “Father Into Your Hands I commit My Spirit”, what powerful words that were brought to life by Christ on the cross. This was a Jewish prayer that is based off of Psalms 31

Jesus demonstrated his complete obedience to the Father on the cross, even to the point of death! (Philippians 2) Are we able or willing to show this obedience to God? This is a beautiful prayer that we should cry out to Abba Father

Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength. Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth. Psalm 31:4-5

Regardless of what people do to us, trust in God to deliver you! There will come a time when you will be so beaten down by this world, that your strength will fail. But in our weakness , God is strong! Cling to God for you salvation

Oh Heavenly Father , into Your Hands we commit my Spirit, into your hands I commit my life, let your will be done in Jesus name Amen!
