The Army of the Lord: A friend in front of me was coming out of the church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always did to shake hands.
He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside.
Then the pastor said to him, “You need to join the Army of the Lord!”The friend replied, “I’m already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor.”
Pastor questioned him, “How come I don’t see you except at Christmas and Easter?”He whispered back, “I’m in the secret service.”
A man climbs to the top of Mt.
Sinai and gets close enough to talk to God.
Looking up, he asks the Lord,
"God, what does a million years mean to you?"
The Lord replies, "A minute."
The man then asks, "And what does a million dollars mean to you?"
The Lord replies, "A penny."
Then he asks, "Can I have a penny?"
The Lord replies, "In a minute."

Romans (God Remains Faithful / 3:1-8)
Paul had clearly stated that true “Jewishness” is not a matter of heritage, but a matter of one’s relationship with God
and that true circumcision is not on the body, but on the heart
The Jewish response might have well been, “If that’s true, then is there any advantage to being a part of the Jewish nation or, for that matter, in being physically circumcised?”
Paul gives his response in verses 1-8.
What a depressing picture Paul is painting!
All of us-pagan Gentiles, humanitarians, and religious people-are condemned by our own actions.
The law, which God gave to show the way to live, exposes our evil deeds.
Is there any hope for us?
Yes, says Paul.
The law condemns us, it is true, but the law is not the basis of our hope.
God himself is.
He, in his righteousness and wonderful love, offers us eternal life.
We receive our salvation not through law but through faith in Jesus Christ.
We cannot—earn it; we accept it as a gift from our gracious Father.
Romans (God Remains Faithful / 3:1-8)
these privileges did not make them better than anyone else
How does the law stop every mouth?
John Wesley said, The first use of [the Law], without question, is to convince the world of sin.
By this is the sinner discovered to himself.
All his fig-leaves are torn away, and he sees that he is wretched and poor and miserable, blind and naked.
The Law flashes conviction on every side.
He feels himself a mere sinner.
He has nothing to pay.
His mouth is stopped and he stands guilty before God.
D. L. Moody “Ask Paul why [the Law] was given.
Here is his answer: That every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God (Romans 3:19).
The Law stops every man’s mouth.
I can always tell a man who is near the kingdom of God; his mouth is stopped.
This, then, is why God gives us the Law to show us ourselves in our true colors”
“Sin is like smog it is not visible while you are in its midst.
The Law takes the sinner above the smog of his own perspective and shows him heaven’s viewpoint.
It gives the sinner knowledge of his sin.
John Bunyan stated, “The man who does not know the nature of the Law cannot know the nature of sin.”
Martyn Lloyd-Jones “The trouble with people who are not seeking for a Savior and for salvation is that they do not understand the nature of sin.
It is the peculiar function of the Law to bring such an understanding to a man’s mind and conscience.
That is why great evangelical preachers 300 years ago in the time of the Puritans, and 200 years ago in the time of Whitefield and others, always engaged in what they called a preliminary Law work.”
Martin Luther “The first duty of the gospel preacher is to declare God’s Law and show the nature of sin.”
Those in the Old Testament were not saved by keeping the law or by animal sacrifices.
Nether Jews nor Gentiles were ever saved by the law or sacrifices, though God gave both.
They never could be, can today or ever will be saved by any blood except the blood of Jesus.
In each time period how God approached man was always different.
But how man approached God was always the same.
God spoke to Adam and Eve in the Garden by meeting them in tphe cool of the day and walking and talking with them.
God spoke to people through angels, personal appearances as the Angel of The Lord, a burning bush, dreams, visions or a direct voice from Heaven.
But how man approached God has been and always will be the same, by grace through faith.
The heroes of faith show this.
Each hero received the Lord and His salvation by faith and then approached each day living for the Lord by faith.
“Without faith it is (and always has been) impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11:6).
