I was on YouTube this evening surfing around and listening to different Paul Washer sermons. I ran across one that just blew me away. It’s 10 minutes long if you want to watch it here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuEc-zrs5wA.
In this video Paul Washer says “When most people read the following passage they only remember Romans 3:23.” Paul Washer goes on the say “This is quite possibly the most important passage in the entire Bible.” Paul washer also quotes Dr. Marin Lloyd Jones saying that Romans 3:23 is the acropolis of the Christian faith.
Please use this as a faith builder. Read the following passage and take it to heart.
Romans 3:23 – 27 NLT
23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. 24 Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. 25 For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, 26 for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he declares sinners to be right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.
27 Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith.
Be Blessed!
