Sermon Notes:
God is totally righteous to judge man’s total depravity.
1. God’s Total Righteousness (1-8)
For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. (Hebrews 6:4-6)
2. Man’s Total Depravity (9-20)
Summary of Romans 1:18-3:20
1. Gentiles know of God through natural law, yet suppress God’s truth and worship the creature not the Creator.
2. Jews are privileged in that they have God’s Law—but they are not able to keep God’s Law. The Law shows their guilt.
3. Having the Law isn’t what counts—keeping it is, and all are condemned because none keep the Law. The Law shows how far short we fall.
4. We need a righteous standing because we answer to the righteous judge.
