what I need. And may I add, what you need. Verse 9, what then? Are we better
than they, us Jews, us who have this revelation from God? Are
we better than those Gentiles No, not in any respect, for we
have already proved this. Both Jew and Gentile, they are
all under sin. Now, listen. By nature, the way
you and I are born into this world. By choice, not only by
nature, but by choice, this is the direction we have chosen
to take and by practice. Our actual practice has made
this real, has proved it to be true. By nature, choice, and
practice, we are all under sin. That means under the control
of sin. That means under the dominion
of sin. That means sins are master. That
means sins are boss, by nature, by choice. and by practice. That
means we cannot not sin. That's precisely what that means.
We cannot, by nature, by choice, and by practice, we cannot not
sin. We are all under sin. That means sin is over us. That
means sin is our boss, and this refers to every member of the
human race in general, and you and I in particular. And you
know, in light of this passage of Scripture, we're all under
sin. That makes the idea or the concept of free will ridiculous,
doesn't it? It's ridiculous. Now, it's true
we make choices. No doubt about that. We make
choices. But our will is controlled by nature, by an evil nature. We're born into this world with
an evil nature, born into this world all under sin. The very idea of free will is
repugnant and ridiculous. It's just not so. We're all by nature under sin. Now, does somebody think, well,
If I'm completely controlled by sin, and if I lack the ability
to do anything but sin, will God hold me responsible for my
sin? I mean, after all, I can't help it. I mean, you said, I
can't help it. I mean, I can't not sin. You're
going to tell me God is going to hold me responsible for something
that I can't do? Yes. Yes, He will. That's just the way it is. That's
the only way I know how to respond to that is yes you will and that
is just the way it is. God does hold you and I responsible
to do what we cannot do. Now let me illustrate this. If
there's a serial killer and he's been guilty of murdering people,
cutting them up and doing all kinds of gruesome things and
he's caught and he's brought before the judge and has pleaded
the judge is this, I can't help doing what I'm doing. He's my
nature. I can't help it. Therefore, I
should not be held responsible for what I'm doing, because I
can't help it. That's just my nature. Now, what if the judge
says, well, OK, well, let's go and set him free then. I mean,
he can't help it. Let him out in public. No judge
wouldn't say that, would he? He'd say, lock him up and throw
away the key. That's exactly what he'd say.
It's true, we're all under sin, and it's equally true that we
are held by God responsible for our sin. Now, with that being
the case regarding me, I'm by nature under sin, and yet God
holds me responsible. I can't find an out. I can't
find an excuse. I can't get out of this mess.
What is it that I need? What is it that I need? Now, this passage of Scripture
is going to Describe us as we go on looking through this passage
of Scripture, and then it is going to tell us precisely what
it is that we actually need. It's seen in this passage of
Scripture. Now, let's go on reading because he's going to go on in
verse 10 and describe what this means. that all are under sin,
and we can understand what it means to be under sin by looking
at this passage of Scripture. Now look at verse 10. Now, remember,
he says all are under sin, verse 10. Now, here's his proof that
all are under sin. Here's his proof, as it is written. Here is the definitive proof
that we're all under sin, as it is written, because it's written,
it's true, whether you and I see it or not. Because it's written. Here's the verification of this.
Here's the absolute truthfulness of it. It's written whether you
and I see it or not. Now, we read this passage of Scripture,
like I said, it seems dark. It seems depressing. It seems
negative. It seems pessimistic. The things
that are recorded regarding us. You think, well, I'm just not
sure if I really believe that. Well, believe it because it's
written. Is that enough of a reason for
you to believe it? The Bible is the Word of God. If it's written,
that settles it. And so, but I just can't see
it. I can't feel it. It doesn't matter whether you
can see it. It doesn't matter whether you can feel it or believe it. Because it's
written. As it is written. Now he goes on to describe what
it means to be under sin. As it is written, there is none
righteous, no, not one. What is righteousness? Now listen
to this definition of righteousness. because this is what the scripture
teaches regarding righteousness. Righteousness is a perfect standing
before God's holy law. Somebody who is righteous in
God's sight is someone who has never broken his law. Someone
who is righteous in God's sight has kept the Ten Commandments
perfectly. I started to say Somebody who
is righteous is someone who has kept the Ten Commandments perfectly.
But, you know, if I make that statement, that's wrong. It's
not as if you can keep them in perfectly. It's not as if you
can sincerely desire to keep them, but then just you kind
of mess up and therefore your sincere desire will take the
place of obedience. No, righteousness is not a relative
term. It's not relative in any sense. You either have a perfect standing
before God's holy law or you don't. And that's what righteousness
is all about. It's a perfect standing before
God's holy law. And what does the scripture say
regarding this? And this is a quotation from
Psalm 14 and Psalm 53. Paul is proving his doctrine
from the Old Testament Scriptures. He says, For it is written, There
is none righteous, no, not one. There is nobody who has kept
the law. And understand this. It's not
like you've just messed up on two or three of the commandments
or even on nine of the commandments. But all ten of the commandments
have been broken all the time. There's no sincere but imperfect
partial obedience. It's either perfect obedience
or it's disobedience. There's no in-between. There
is none righteous. No, not one. Verse 11, there
is none that understand it. There's not anybody that has
any understanding of the things by God, not by nature. We're
completely dependent upon revelation. I may understand E equals MC
squared. I don't. I mean, I know that's
the theory of relativity. I had no idea what the theory
of relativity is. Maybe somebody here does, but
I mean, somebody might be smart enough to know what that means.
We may understand many brilliant things, but nobody understands
the things of God. And the only way you and I can
understand the things of God is if God is pleased to reveal
Himself to us. We're completely dependent upon
revelation. There is not one son of Adam
that understands, not even one. I don't care how clear the preaching
is. I don't care how perfect the preaching is. Nobody can
understand it unless God is pleased to open the heart. That's just
the way it is. There is none that understand
it. Look what he says next. In verse
11, there is none that seeketh after God. There's nobody who
even seeks God. Now, what you seek is what you're
about. What you seek is what you really
are. What you seek is what you desire, what you really desire.
And according to this passage of Scripture, there's not one
person who's ever even desired the living God. Now, we may desire
to go to heaven. Nobody wants to go to hell. Somebody
says, what do you want? Do you want to go to heaven or
hell? Well, I want to go to heaven. I don't want to go to hell, that's
for sure. We may desire to avoid the pains of hell. We may desire
a lot of things. We desire to establish a righteousness
before God, but we think we'll obligate God to do something
for us. We may desire many things, but as far as desiring God Himself
as He's revealed in His Word, There's no one man, woman, boy
or girl who is ever truly desired the living God, not one. Now
that's the scriptural testimony. Not one person has ever even
desired God, sought God. Look what verse 12 says. It says
they are all gone out of the way they have all shunned the
way we've all rejected God's way of salvation. We've looked
it over and said, I prefer my way. Now, You know, anytime somebody
comes here, I've seen this happen so many times, somebody comes
here and, and the first message they hear, they think, man, that's
great. I really like that. Well, this is what I want to
hear. A red flag automatically goes up with me. I think, well,
they won't be back or they haven't heard what I said one or two.
Somebody says, is that just being pessimistic? No, it's being realistic.
In this sense, If it comes as good news at first, you haven't
heard. It's got to come as bad news
at first. You have to be exposed for what you are. And it'll become
good news later, but it doesn't come as good news at first. It
becomes a bad news. And that's what he's saying here.
He says they've gone out of the way. What is the way? Christ
is the way, but they've shunned the way. We've all preferred
our way to his way. They've all gone out of the way.
Next to sit there together become unprofitable. You know what that
means? Worthless. Worthless. The whole human race has become
worthless. I remember hearing one time somebody
said, God doesn't make junk. You have value in yourself and
so on. No, you don't. No, you don't. Why that's so
negative. Well, it's what God's word says.
Worthless in this sense. If I don't glorify God, if I
don't honor him, I'm worthless. Is that not so? We may have worth
in our own eyes, but I'm talking about before God. And oh, would
to God that we could look at things from His perspective instead
of ours. I'm not simply trying to be negative
and pessimistic, but it's what the Word of God says. It says
we've together become worthless. And I realize this generation
doesn't like that kind of thinking or preaching, but it's what God's
Word says. We are hurting people's self-esteem.
Well, I'm sorry. You know, this is the truth,
though. This is what you and I are by
nature, before God. Now, I know before me, and you
might be a pretty good fella, I'm glad y'all are. I'm glad y'all
are. We've got some fine people here,
some nice people. Great. Say it that way. I'm not
talking against that, but I'm talking about before God. Worthless. Sinful. Evil. No contribution to His glory.
We together become worthless, unprofitable. He goes on to say
in verse 12, there is none that doeth good, no, not even one. Now, wait a minute. What about
all the good works people do? I want you to remember this.
I'm not talking about before men. I'm talking about before God.
God looks on the heart. Man looks on the outward appearance.
Man looks on the outward account. God sees what's going on on the
inside. He sees why you do what you do. There's none that do
with good. There's not been one good work
performed by any man. Plenty of outward good, but I'm
talking about before God, what He sees. Now, He goes on to describe
what He means by that. Look in verse 13. He says, "...their
throat." And this is talking about you and I. When I open
up my mouth, that's where what's in the inside comes out. Their
throats, he says, is an open grave, nothing but dead, rotting
flesh, decay and stench. That talks about what's on the
inside. The outside may look good. Our Lord said, you indeed
appear righteous before men. You indeed appear beautiful before
men. But God builds your heart, for
then you're full of dead men's bones. Same thing is right here. Their throat is an open grave. Verse 13, next he says, with
their tongues They have used deceit. The tongue is the instrument
of speech. It's the words that come out
of our mouth. And with every word of a natural man, there's
bait around it that hides the hook. Every word has bait around it. That's where we get the word
deceit from. It means literally bait, a lure
to trick somebody. Every word that comes out of
the mouth is covered with bait to hide the hidden intent and
the hidden purpose. Boy, that sounds so negative.
Yeah, but it's what God's Word says. There's not one word that
comes out of my mouth that isn't filled with sin by nature. Now,
that's the case regarding me and you. He says their throat
is an open sack over with their tongues they've used to see the
poison of asps, snakes, is under their lips. That's what's behind
what they say, the poison of snakes, whose mouth, verse 14,
is full of cursing and bitterness. Even the good things that are
said are seen this way before God, because we're all under
sin. The mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Verse 15, their
feet are swift to shed blood, swift to murder. Somebody says,
now I haven't murdered anybody. And you know, physically, I haven't
murdered anybody that I know of. But I've murdered people's
character. And I've been swift to do that,
to bring others down, to bring myself up. You know, every time
you say something bad about somebody, every time I say something negative
about somebody, behind that, I'm trying to bring them down
so I can make my own stars shine brighter. I'm not like them.
I'm a little... You know, when you do that in
God's sight, that's murder. That's being angry with your
brother without a cause. That's being jealous. That's
being envious. And every single one of us have been swift to
shed blood in that sense. We're all murderers. I think
most people think, well, I've kept that commandment. No, you
haven't. All you've got to do is murder somebody's character
by innuendo, by we need to pray for so-and-so. And you've been
guilty of murder. Their feet are swift to shed
blood. Verse 16. Destruction and misery
are in their ways. Having rejected the right way,
here's the way we're left with. Verse 17. The way of peace they've
not known. And that word known is literally
they've not approved of. The way of peace. Christ is the
way of peace. And the natural man hears this
way and he rejects it. He doesn't approve of it. I'd
rather come some other way. I'd rather come my way instead
of His way. The way of peace. They've not
approved of verse 18. There's no fear of God before
their eyes. Now, what is the fear of God?
You know, we read scriptures like the fear of the Lord is
the beginning of wisdom. What is it to fear God? Who are
you afraid of? Even humanly speaking, who are
you afraid of? I'll tell you who I'm afraid of. I'm afraid
of that person who I cannot control. I'm afraid of that person who
I don't know what direction they're going to take, and I can't control
them. I don't know what they can do
to me. A control freak wants to control everybody, so they
can't control them. You've all heard of a control
freak. Well, every man by nature is a control freak, and we think
we can control God. And here's why men aren't afraid
of God. They think they can control Him in this sense. Every natural
man thinks there's something I can do to get God to respond
to me. When it comes right down to it, when all, when everything's
against me, at least I can decide to accept it. When it all comes
down to it, at least I can, by free will, decide to be saved.
We think we can control God by some decision we make, or there's
something we can do to control Him. And if you think you can
control God, you don't fear Him. There's no fear of God before
God. We think we can control Him.
We think we can get Him to respond to what we do. Therefore, we're
not afraid of Him. This generation has heard of
a God that they think they can control. for so many years, and
that's why there's no fear of God in this generation. That's
why there's no fear of sin in this generation, because of this
weak God that's being preached. There's no fear of God before
their eyes. Verse 19, now, here's his conclusion
of all this. Verse 19, now we know. We know that what thing soever
the law sayeth, God's word, It saith to them who are under the
law. Are you listening right now that it's talking about you?
You're under God's Word right now. It's over you. It says this to you, verse 19,
to them who are under the law, that for this purpose, that every
mouth may be stopped and all the world may become
guilty, subject to the very judgment of God. Now, here's what happened
when Adam sinned in the garden. And that was the first sin. You
remember what took place. What's the first thing he did when God
confronted him? Where are you? Well, I heard
your voice. I hid. I was naked. I was ashamed. How did you know you were naked?
Have you eaten of the fruit? Now, here is confession. Here
is confession. The woman that you gave me, she gave me of the
fruit, and I did eat. Not, I did eat, but the woman
you gave me. If you hadn't have given me this
woman, if you hadn't have put me in this position, it wouldn't
have taken place. Ultimately, this is your fault.
Now, this is what every natural man does. We look for an excuse
for our sin. But there's where we've got to
stop. That every mouth may be stopped. No excuses. No self-justification. No vindication. guilty, plead guilty before God
that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may stand guilty
before God. Now this passage of scripture
that I've read, does this describe you? Somebody says, I can't see
it, well believe it anyway. It's written. It's quoted in
Psalm 14, Psalm 53, and quoted again here in Romans chapter
3. It's written, that's enough of a proof. Does this describe
you? Yes it does. There's only one thing for you
and I to do. Plead Guilty. Guilty as charged. That all the world may stand
guilty before God. Verse 20. Therefore, we can conclude
from this. Therefore, by the deeds of the
law, salvation by works in any form, salvation conditioned upon
some work of personal obedience on my part, Therefore, by the
deeds of the law, there shall no flesh be justified in His
sight. And remember, we're talking about
God's sight. We're not talking about man's sight. I can impress
you and you can impress me. Big deal. Big deal. If you've
impressed me, who have you impressed? A worm, just like you. Big deal. If I impress you, that doesn't
mean anything. We're talking about His sight.
We're talking about the sight of the living God. There shall
no flesh be justified in insight. For by the law is the knowledge
of sin. That's what God's law... Listen,
if you look at God's law, let's just talk about the Ten Commandments,
and you just try to compare yourself to them and think, well, at least
I partially obeyed that one, or I did okay there, but I messed
up that one. Boy, you better just quit that
thinking altogether. All God's law does is expose
to us our sin before Him. By the law is the knowledge of
sin. The complete impossibility of
being saved by works in any form is spelled out very clearly in
this passage of Scripture now. From looking at this passage
of Scripture. Dark in it. Dark. It also clearly tells me what
I actually need. Now what I need is determined
by what condition I'm in. Isn't that so? If I got a headache,
I need aspirin. If I have cancer, I need chemotherapy. If I'm dead, I need life. What you need is determined by
what condition you are in. Now, let's look at this passage
of Scripture in light of what we need. Now, look in verse 9. What then? Are we better than
they? No, and no wise, for we had before
proved, both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin. I need somebody to save me. I
need somebody to bring me out from under sin. I need somebody
to do something for me. I can't save myself when my sin's
over me. I'm underneath. I can't get out
from under it. I need, as God is my witness,
I need Him to save me from my sin. Well, what do you mean by
that? Well, let's go on reading. Verse
10, as it's written, there's none righteous, no, not one. I need a righteousness to be
given to me because I can't work one out. Now, here's what it
is to be saved from sin. The first thing I need is I need
a righteousness before this holy law of God. God's holy. I'm sinful. He won't accept me the way I
am. I need, I need a perfect obedience before the holy law
of God. And the only way I can have that is if He gives it to
me. I need a righteousness before God. Oh, how I need that. In other words, I need that perfect
obedience of Christ charged to my account. That's what I need
to be brought up from under sin. First, I have to have a perfect
standing before God's holy law. I need a righteousness charged
to my account. Verse 11, there is none that
understand it. I need some understanding. I
need revelation. I need God to open up my heart
and mind to the truth of his gospel. If I'm just left to myself,
my own understanding, I'm in trouble and you are too. There's
so many different voices. You turn on the TV or the radio
as far as religion. There's so many different voices
going to all the different churches. There's so many different voices.
How can I know the truth? I need him to give me some understanding.
I need him to give me some discernment, some spiritual understanding
of the truth. I need understanding. There's
none that understands. There's none, verse 11, there's
none that seeketh after God. Now here's what I need. I need
to seek the living God. I need to seek the Lord. Seek
ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these
other things that you're concerned about will be added to you. The
one thing I need to seek, I need to seek the Lord. And he says
in verse 12, they are all gone out of the way. I need to embrace
the way, not shun the way, but embrace the way. You see, there's
one way to the father. And that way is the Lord Jesus
Christ. He is the way to the father.
He's not going to show you the steps. He's not going to take you by
the hand and lead you there. He himself is the way so that
if you're in him, you're already there. It's not a long journey. It's not a 12-step program. He
is the way. And what I need to do is embrace
the way. He is the way to the Father.
No man cometh to the Father but what? By me. He is able to save them to the
uttermost that come unto God by Him. Here's the way I come
to God. I come to God pleading nothing
but Christ. Oh, that I might be found in
Him. I'm holding on to Him. That's the only way I come. No
other way at all times. Embrace the way. Rejoice in the
way. Don't reject the way. It's the only way. It's not like
you even have any other options. Embrace the way. He says in verse
12, They're all gone out of the way. They are together become
worthless. Worthless. If I don't glorify God by faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ, I'm worthless. Oh, I might have a
high opinion of men, but I'm worthless. I'm useless. Oh, that I would believe the
gospel, glorify God. You see, if you trust Christ,
you are glorifying God. If you rest in Christ, if you
rest in who he is and what he did is all you need in salvation,
you're actually bringing glory to God. Abraham was strong in
faith, giving glory to God, being fully persuaded that what God
had promised he was able also to perform. I want to be profitable by trusting
Christ. He says in verse 12, they're all gone out of the way,
they're together becoming profitable. There's none that doeth good.
No, not one. I need to do good. What is it to do good? It's to
believe the gospel. It's to love Christ. It's to love His people.
I need to do good. Now, I know I can't unless God
enables me, but I better. I need to do good. I need His
Spirit to enable me to do good, to believe His gospel. There's
none that doeth good. No, not one. Verse 13. Their throat is
an open grave. I need life. I need spiritual
life. My throat's an open grave. I
open my mouth. The stench comes out. I need
spiritual life on the inside. Christ in you. The hope of glory. I need to be given this thing
of spiritual life. You know what? I'm going to have
that if God gives it to me. So, Lord, give it to me. Give me
the spiritual life. He says, with their tongues,
in verse 13, their throat is an open sepulcher. With their
tongues, they've used deceit, always covering up the meaning,
always a hidden agenda somewhere. I need with my tongue to speak
the truth, to speak the truth about myself before God, to speak
the truth of God, to have the words of the gospel in my mouth.
With their tongues, they've used deceit. The poison of asps is
under their lips. That's what's behind it. Whose
mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. I need my mouth full
of praise and words of truth, not cursing and bitterness, finding
fault with God and the providence. Why God let this happen to me?
How could God do this? Always finding fault with God.
Oh, that my heart might be, my mouth might be filled with words
of praise and thanksgiving to Him. Verse 16, or verse 15, their
feet are swift to shed blood. I need feet that are swift to
love. I need feet that are swift to
speak well of others, feet that are swift to forgive and be merciful
and be gracious. I need His work in me, not ways
of destruction and misery. Verse 17, he says, the way of
peace they've not known. I need to know the way of peace.
Now, let me tell you, just in case you don't know, I know the
way of peace. Listen to Scripture. He was delivered
for our offenses, Romans 4.25. He was delivered for our offenses.
And He was raised again for our justification. When Christ Jesus
was raised from the dead, everybody He represented was accepted at
that time. He was delivered for our offenses
and raised again for our justification. That means by justification,
this standing before God, this right standing before God, was
accomplished by Jesus Christ completely without my works. without my contributions. He
did it without me. And you know that gives me peace.
He was delivered for our offenses. He was raised again for our justification. Therefore, being justified by
faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Does it give you peace to know that your salvation was accomplished
without your help? That's peace. I need to know
the way of peace. And look what it says in verse
18. There's no fear of God before their eyes. I need the fear of
God. That is the beginning of wisdom. Now, remember this. You only fear who you can't control. Now that's so ignorant. If you feel like you can control
somebody, you can get them to do what you want them to do.
You don't have to be afraid of them. You're afraid of that person
that you can't control. But listen to this regarding
the fear of God. It's true we can't control him. But in this fear of God that's
the beginning of wisdom, although we can't control Him, we trust
Him. And we believe that whatever
He does is right, best, true. We're not going to apologize
for what He does. We're not going to try to explain away what He does.
We're not going to try to justify what He does. He'll speak for
Himself. We believe that whatever He does is right and true and
just. If He did it, that makes it right.
Now, we can't control Him. We realize that. He's sovereign.
I can't control him. He's God. But I believe that
whatever he does is right. And that's the fear of God. That's
the beginning of wisdom. I need the fear of God, verse
19. Now, we know. We know. This is not speculation. This is not giving my opinion.
We know that what thing soever the law saith, it saith to them
who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped. No excuses. Lord, if you had to put me in
that place of temptation, this would have never taken place.
Lord, if I didn't have this in my background, this wouldn't
have taken place. Lord, if no, every mouth is to be stopped. No excuses. Standing naked and
guilty before the living God. Now I know this, this is what
I need and this is what you need to do right now to stand guilty. Guilty as charged. Guilty before God. I need to stand Just like this,
guilty before God, verse 20. Therefore. By the deeds of the
law, there shall no flesh be justified in his sight, for by
the law is the knowledge of sin. I need to be justified. I need to be justified, I can't
justify myself. Now, it's just out of the question.
I need for God to justify me. I need this. I mean, I need it. You know a real easy way to say
this. I've talked about all these needs
I have. I need to be saved from the dominion of sin. I need to
be made righteous. I need to understand. I need
to seek God. I need to embrace the way. I
need to glorify him. I need to do good. I need to
have life. I need to speak the truth. I
need to have Spiritual understanding, and then you have my mouth filled
with praise, I need feet that are swift to love, I need mercy
and grace, I need to know the way of peace, I need to have
the fear of God, I need to be justified. Now, here's the summary
of it all. I need Jesus Christ. I need Jesus Christ. And let me tell you something
about folks who need Christ. Every single one of them have
Jesus Christ. Now, if you believe this description
of yourself that's given in Romans chapter three, you need Jesus
Christ, you really believe that. And everybody that needs Jesus
Christ, everybody without exception. everybody who in their heart
before God. Now, all of us, there's not anybody
in here that will not say before other men, well, I need Jesus
Christ. Well, we all know to say that, don't we? I really
doubt that there's anybody in here that'll say, I don't need
Jesus Christ. Sure you, you'll say you do, but I'm talking about
before God really believed in it, really believed in it. Everybody who needs Jesus Christ
has Jesus Christ. Let not conscience make you linger,
nor fitness fondly dream. The only fitness he requireth
is to, and I'm changing the words. The word says the only fitness

Philippians 4. This is spoken to every single
individual who needs the Lord Jesus Christ. Verse 19, Philippians
chapter 4. But my God shall supply all your
what? Need. Not needs. I don't know how many times I've
heard people use this verse of Scripture to refer to material
needs. My God shall supply all your
needs. If you need health, you'll have it. Wealth, whatever. Need
your marriage healed, your finances straightened out. Doesn't have
anything to do with what this passage of Scripture says. My
God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory. by Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus is all that I need. And I believe that. And I'm willing
to face God. I'm willing to face the thrice
holy God in judgment with nothing but Jesus Christ. Are you? I sure am. He supplies all of our needs
according to the riches and glory in Christ Jesus. Let's pray together.
