No One Is Righteous

9What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.10As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;

11there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.

12All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.” Psalms 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Eccles. 7:20

13“Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.” Psalm 5:9
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.” Psalm 140:3

14“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.” Psalm 10:7 (see Septuagint)

15“Their feet are swift to shed blood;

16ruin and misery mark their ways,

17and the way of peace they do not know.” Isaiah 59:7,8

18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Psalm 36:1

19Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.20Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

I book mark this because every time I think that I have it all together, I want to remember that I don't. And every time I see someone who thinks they are living right, I want to remember that they aren't. this humbling perspective keeps me attentive and repentant and aware of the importance of the redemptive work of Christ.

Jewish and Gentiles. All humankind is under the curse of sin. Only God can redeem us period!
