What if the things you've leaned on most in your spiritual life — your church attendance, your Bible knowledge, your Christian heritage — aren't what actually make you right with God?

In this week's message from Romans 3:1–20, we work through one of Paul's most searching passages: a raw, honest description of the human condition. No one is righteous. No one truly understands. No one seeks God on their own. And the Law — for all its value — can only show us how far we fall short.

But Paul doesn't leave us there. Because the same gospel that exposes our condition also offers the only real remedy: a righteousness we didn't earn, given to us through faith in Jesus.

You are not an old creation trying to become new. You are a new creation trying to shed the old.

📖 Scriptures Covered: Romans 3:1–20, Psalm 14:2–3, John 1:9, John 6:44, Ephesians 2:8

📌 Show Notes & Next Steps:

  • Reflect: Consider which "spiritual advantages" you may have been treating as a substitute for genuine faith. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the difference.
  • Memorize: Romans 3:20 — "No one will be declared righteous in God's sight by works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin."
  • Pray: Use the closing prayer from this message as your own prayer this week — asking God to help you receive the righteousness that can only come through faith in Christ.
  • Next Step: If you're exploring what it means to have a personal relationship with God, we'd love to connect with you. Visit grandpoint.church to learn more or reach out to our team.
