Pastor Richard's reflection

In verses 20 God says through St Paul

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. 

In this reading we are encouraged to see that:

• That everyone is equal and under the power of sin
• No one can be made righteous by following the law
• That the purpose of the law is to make us aware of our sin

Some stuff to contemplate:

• How does Romans 3:9-20 affect how you see God, yourself, and how you see and will interact with others?
• What does Romans 3:9-20 call you to talk to God (pray) about?  (Thanksgiving, more insight, help, forgiveness...)
• What do you think is worthwhile sharing with someone from what God has told you in Romans 3:9-20?
