Untitled Sermon (68)

GUILTY ON THREE ACCOUNTS.

INTRODUCTION.

ROMANS CHAPTER 3 SHOWS PAUL BUILDING A CASE AGAINST THOSE WHO LIVE FOR THE WORLD.

WHAT PAUL USED WAS OLD TESTAMENT PRINCIPLES TO BRING AWARENESS TO THE JEW AND GENTILE THAT NO ONE WHO LIVED UNDER THE LAW WAS ABLE TO LIVE A SINLESS LIFE.

BECAUSE THE LAW PURPOSE WAS TO SHOW US OUR CONDITION OUTSIDE OF A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

HOW PAUL BUILT HIS CASE WAS WITH 3 EVIDENCE SHOWING THE WORLD GUILT OF SIN.

THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS.

THERE IS NONE THAT UNDERSTANDETH.

THERE IS NONE THAT DOETH GOOD.

A. CASE ONE.

THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS.

ROMANS 3:10 “as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:”

PAUL STATED HIS CASE ON GOD’S WORD, THAT IN THE EYES OF GOD, IF ANYONE TRIES TO LIVE HIS LIFE TO HIMSELF AND NOT TO GOD , IS INCAPABLE OF DOING THINGS THE RIGHT WAY.

BECAUSE CHRIST JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD AND HE RIGHTEOUS WITHIN HIMSELF.

WITHOUT CHRIST IN OUR LIVES WE ARE INCAPABLE OF OVERCOMING OUR SINFUL NATURE.

WE NEED THE HOLY SPIRIT TO LIVE IN US TO OVERCOME OUR SINFUL NATURE.

PAUL SAID IN ROMANS 7:20-25 “Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.”

PAUL FIRST POINT WAS THE WORLD SERVE THE LAW OF SIN, THAT’S WHY NONE RIGHTEOUS, BECAUSE THE WORLD CONCENTRATE ON THERE OUTWARD MAN MORE THAN THERE INWARD MAN.

GALATIANS 5:19 “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,”

B. CASE 2.

THERE IS NONE THAT UNDERSTANDETH.

ROMANS 3:11 “there is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.”

MOST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD DO NOT HAVE A IDEA WHERE THEY COME FROM OR WHY THEY ARE HERE.

AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING WHEN THEY LEAVE THIS EARTH.

WHY BECAUSE THE SPIRIT OF GOD HAS NOT REVEALED IT TO THEM. GOD ONLY SHARE THINGS WITH HIS FRIENDS.

THE WORD UNDERSTANDETH MEANS TO LOOK AT THINGS AND TO INTELLIGENTLY DISCERN AND COMPREHEND THE TRUTH..

WE CANNOT COMPREHEND THE TRUTH, IF THE TRUTH IS NOT IN US.

THE WORLD CANNOT COMPREHEND THE THINGS OF GOD, BECAUSE THEY ARE FOOLISHNESS TO HIM.

THE WORLD DO NOT SEEK AFTER GOD,THEY SEEK AFTER THINGS THAT WILL GRATIFY THERE OWN SELFISH DESIRES.

SOME OF US ARE STILL SEEKING AFTER THINGS THAT WILL BRING PLEASURE TO OUR LIVES, INSTEAD OF BRINGING GLORY TO GOD’S NAME.

TO SEEK AFTER GOD IS TO PURSUE OR SEARCH FOR.

IT IS HARD FOR THE WORLD TO PURSUE AFTER GOD, WHEN THERE HEARTS HAVE BECOME COLD TOWARDS HIM.

2 TIMOTHY 3:7 “ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

WE LIVE IN A WORLD TODAY WITH A LOT OF SMART PEOPLE, BUT NEVER ABLE TO COMPREHEND GOD’S TRUTH, THE WORD OF GOD.

3. CASE 3.

THERE IS NONE THAT DOETH GOOD.

ROMANS 3:12 “They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”

THE WORLD IS NOT CAPABLE OF DOING GOOD BECAUSE THEY HAVE TURN THERE BACKS ON GOD AND TURN ASIDE FROM HIS WAYS.

THE WORLD WOULD RATHER CHOOSE ANY OTHER WAY THEN TO CHOOSE GOD’S WAYS.

THE WORLD WOULD JUST RATHER GO ON HUMANLY EXISTING.

PAUL SAID THEY ARE TOGETHER BECOME UNPROFITABLE.

WHEN YOU HAVE A LIFE OUTSIDE OF CHRIST JESUS YOU’RE USELESS.

PAUL WANTED TO MAKE HIS FINAL APPEAL AGAINST THE WORLD BY SAYING , IT IS HUMANLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE WORLD THAT IS CONTROL BY THERE FLESH TO PLEASE GOD.

PAUL CLOSE THE CASE WITH LUKE 9:25 “For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?”

THE VERDICT IS GUILTY.

ARE YOU GUILTY OF WANTING MORE FROM THE WORLD, THAN YOU WANT FROM GOD.

THAT’S A QUESTION EACH OF US SHOULD EXAMINE OURSELVES WITH.
