In Need Of Something - Pt 1 (8 of 49)
Series: Romans- God's Glorious Gospel

Romans 3:1-8
• We are all in need of something. And the sad thing is, most of the time "we simply cannot seem to put our finger on what it is that we need." These musicians just seen on our screen, all seem to have the idea that "IF" they could get to the top of their field, all would be well.

• We have come to think that we are pretty good. In fact, most people today think that "I am basically a good person." I am reminded of what Chuck Colson, the former hatchet man for President Nixon and now born again minister has said, "The greatest myth of our time is that people are basically good. It is not true. We are bent toward evil."
• One of the fundamental teachings of the Bible is found in Psalm 14:3 (actually this verse appears multiple times in the Bible), "There is no one who does good, not even one." Factoring in the truth that God will not allow sin in His presence gives us reason to be concerned.
• We continue our study in Paul's letter to the church at Rome, which is appropriately named "Romans." Today, we begin our reading in Chapter 3. L ...
