世人都犯了罪

羅馬書 第3章

人若離棄了神,會變成怎樣的光景呢?保羅在這裡主要引用了詩篇中的14 句說話,來回答這個問題。我們能找出這些經文的出處嗎?

首先,保羅指出人是不義的;人無法達致神所要求的善,也無法按照神所要求的正道而行。人若沒有基督所賜予的義,根本無法站立在神的面前。

有些人或許會說:「別人比我更差」。這可能是事實;但即使是世上最好的人,也不能在聖潔的神面前站立得住。

保羅在第11節指出,人靠著自己是不能明白的。人可以擁有很多知識,但如果他不能夠明白神的心意,他的知識對他根本是毫無幫助。

這裡的每一節經文都描述了人的境況,也責備了人的罪。結論是「沒有義人,連一個沒有」。第18節指出,這樣的人不懼怕神,因為他根本不承認有神。

保羅在第20節進一步指出,沒有人可以靠著守舊約的律法得救。律法就如一面鏡子,反照出我們臉上的污穢,但鏡子卻不能把污穢除掉。我們必須用其他東西來清除污垢。

律法的作用是要顯明我們的罪,讓我們看見自己離開神的標準多遠。正因我們無法達致神的標準,基督才要來到拯救我們。祂過了完全無罪的一生。祂的死為我們的罪擔負了刑罰。如今,我們是藉著基督的義而非自己的義來得著神的悅納。

讓我們靜下來細想神的恩典和慈愛。祂要我們成為義人,但祂卻藉著祂的兒子耶穌基督把義賜給我們。祂要我們為著本身的罪受罰,但祂卻讓祂的兒子耶穌基督代替我們受罰。神的愛真是何等浩大,是我們所不配得的。

反思:

神的慈愛使祂為人預備了救恩;

神的恩典使祂賜人白白的救恩;

神的大能使祂在各各他山上填平了與人分隔的鴻溝。

ALL HAVE SINNED

What is man really like, apart from God? Paul answers that question in about 14 sentences, mostly quotations from the book of Psalms. Can you separate the various statements?

Firstly Paul says that man is unrighteous. He is not able to do what God says is right and proper to do. Man would never be able to stand before God without Christs righteousness.

Sometimes people say, There are people who are a lot worse than I am, and that may be true. But none of us are good enough to stand before a holy God.

In verse 11 Paul says that man by himself lacks understanding. Man may know a great deal but if he cannot see what God is trying to tell him, then his knowledge has not helped him at all.

Every phrase in this section describes and condemns man. The conclusion is repeated There is none who does good, there is not even one. Verse 18 says that such a man does not fear God, because he will not acknowledge God.

Paul further states in verse 20 that no-one can be saved by trying to keep the law of the Old Testament. The law is like a mirror which can show us a dirty spot on our face but the mirror cant wash it off. Something else must do that.

The law shows up our sin and its purpose is to show us how far short we fall of Gods standards. This is why Christ came to meet our need. His life was perfect. His death paid the penalty for our sin. Now we can be accepted before God, not by any right of our own, but by the righteousness of Christ.

Stop and think about the goodness and love of God. He demanded righteousness. He provided it for us in Jesus Christ. He demanded that a penalty be paid for our sin, but he paid it himself in the person of his Son. Isnt that tremendous? Isnt that good news?

No wonder we sing joyfully:

Oh the love that drew salvations plan

Oh the grace that brought it down to man

Oh the mighty gulf that God did span At Calvary.
