… In the way of peace, they do not know. There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth is silenced. The whole world is held accountable to God. And no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law. Rather, through the law, we become conscious of sin. But now a righteousness from God apart from the law has been made known, to which the law and the prophets testify, and this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice because in his forbearance, he left the sins committed beforehand unpunished. …
… no one understands, no one seeks for God, no one does what is good, anyone? No, not one. We have all turned aside. We have all become spiritually worthless. There is no fear of God before their eyes. That's the indictment on the world. That's God's verdict on the fallen human condition, helpless, hopeless, heartless, under the power and the guilt and the dominion of sin. So that if we could see God right now in the fullness of His glory, every mouth would be stopped. Every man and woman on their own would be found guilty before God because God is holier than you and I imagine. And your sin and my sin is worse than we have conceived. The wrath of God has been revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, and justly so, for by our works no one will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. But now, but now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the law and prophets bear witness to it, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. …
… And the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes. I had a birthday this past week. I turned 49. My kids said, don't worry, you're not old, you're not 50. So, I got that. It's amazing when you're 35, 49 seems old. Now, 79 seems pretty young to me. 49. And this may not be true for anyone else but me, but I don't always like looking at photos of myself. You're all, yep, all the rest of you are really good looking, so it's all fine for you. But, you know, sometimes as you get older, you swipe those photos, as I do, and I say, I don't like that photo. I don't like that photo. I don't like that photo. And you continue, not you, I, because you're all good looking, but I tell myself, wow, what a bad angle. What a bad filter. The sunlight wasn't right. Honey, why can't you take a better picture? And at some point, you have to come to the realization, if 10 out of 10 photos don't look good, I may not look good. …
… of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Ruin and misery mark their ways in the way of peace. They do not know. There is no fear of God before their eyes. In other words, all people everywhere are guilty of sin before a holy God. And here's why this point is so important. Because so many times this question is asked, like someone will ask, well, Pastor, what happens to the innocent man or woman or child in this remote part of the world who's never heard the gospel when they die? And if you were to ask me that question, I would say, without question, based on the Bible, those people go to heaven, even though they've never heard the gospel. Without question, that innocent man, woman, child would go to heaven without ever hearing the gospel. Because they have no need to hear the gospel. if they are innocent of sin they don't need to hear about Jesus died to save them from sin if they're innocent of sin they'll go straight to heaven of course they'll go to heaven the only problem is those people do not exist Do you see how we bias the question from the start like toward us and our goodness and away from God? …
