How Can a Man Be Right with God
I want to dive right in with a question.
What are those questions you are asking yourself?
I thought about this and found the top questions that junior high and high school aged people ask themselves daily.
Here are a few of my favorites.
Why is class sooo early?
Is it socially acceptable to wear pajamas in public?
What major should I study in college that makes the most amount of money with the least amount of work?
Fries or a salad?
(Which is absurd, because the answer is clearly fries.
The question should be fries or garlic fries?
When will I get a real job?
How many times can I hit the snooze button and still make it to school on time?
Does he even notice me?
Who should I go to the dance with?
What college will I go to?
Does algebra really effect my life?
And my favorite, does this shirt smell too bad to wear again?
How many of you asked that question when packing up to come here?
But there is one question that I couldn’t find, but it is the most important question.
This is the question that has been asked by nearly everyone for all of history.
This is the question Job asked God in of How can a man be right with God?
This is the same question the apostle Paul echoed , In you see Peter preaching a sermon and after people asking him What do we do?
This question you will find all of Scripture.
This is the most important question you will ever ask yourself.
So let’s we transition to the book of Romans in chapter 3.
And will see here how a man can truly be made right with God.
We will first pray then I will be reading out of the ESV and starting in verse 20.
I will be reading out of the ESV and starting in verse 20 read silently as I read aloud
Pray
Roman 3:20-24
“For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.
For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,”
To answer this question of How can a man be right with God, I want to look at three things.
What is the problem?
Or said differently Why can’t man be right with God on his own work?
The answer is simple is sin.
Sin is what holds us back from being right with God.
Look back at Verse 20
(ESV)
20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
No matter what you do, everything is tainted by sin.
The text here says that no human being will be justified in Hid or God’s sight.
Because we have not followed God’s perfect law.
Let’s talk about the Law for a second.
Let’s break down this verse.
The Law in the Bible can be defined as something that covers and regulates every area of life of the covenant people of God in accordance with the commands of God.
Although the laws may be divided into categories of civil, criminal, social and God’s law.
Now God’s gives to commands that all other law fall into.
Turn to the book Matthew in chapter 22 in verse 37.
(ESV)
37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
38 This is the great and first commandment.
39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
Here you see 2 commandments that all other laws fall into.
Underneath that you see the 10 commandments.
And under those laws there over 600 more laws or commandments.
But I will not go through all those less we would be here all night.
I do want to look at a few of the 10 commandments though.
How many us have dishonored our parents?
Raise your hand
How many of you have hated someone?
Who here has stolen something?
Who has wanted something that someone else has?
We have looked at just a few commands and we have broken just these select few.
If we have broken these how are we we supposed to be right before God.
And how are we supposed to get to Heaven.
We can’t work our way to heaven.
Yet this is what our world thinks is true.
Our world thinks that if we do enough good we can get to heaven and be right with God.
This is like us thinking here about all the different people here.
We are all different heights, we some who are really short and some who are like James, who is probably the tallest person in the room.
But none of us can touch the stars.
I can jump as high as I possibly can but I am never going to get any where close to touching the stars.
In the same way no one, no matter how hard they try will ever reach God’s righteous.
Verse 20 is clear.
We can not do it.
Look at verse 23.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
This is why we have the Old Testament.
If you read it the response should be I can’t do that.
So now some of you may be thinking well that is depressing.
And may be asking is this true.
Is there really no way I can get to Heaven.
And the answer is yes, there is nothing you can do.
But there is wau
That brings us to our second point
2. What is the solution?
Lets go back to our text.
