ROMANS 3 gives a full length picture of the sinner just as he is in God’s sight. It shows what we are from head to foot.
More than that it shows what we are in our hearts. Look at it. See what you are in God’s mirror.
“There is none righteous, no not one: there is none that undetandeth, there is none that seeketh after God... There is none that doeth good, no not one.... And the way of peace have they not known.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;...” vv. 10, 11, 12, 17, 23. It shows us that we are what we are in order that we may feel our need of salvation.
And God had provided salvation for us, “in Christ Jesus.”
