—Romans 3:9-14
by: Angie Osborn.
As I read these passages, I had conflicting responses. I felt convicted of my sinfulness. The reality is that I am a sinner and therefore guilty of a multitude of transgressions against God. Romans 3:11-18 created a pretty clear mental image of who I am.
My other response was joy and thankfulness. Although I am a sinner, and, as Paul states, am made conscious of that through the law, there is more to the story. I am also forgiven and set free from the guilt and condemnation of the law. Jesus paid that price on the cross.
