lets set the context i promise you its not complex so far paul has been explaining why gods vexed mad at us his wrath is just we lack trust blasphemous even though we know its hazardous chapter one verses eighteen to thirty two he talked about our great schemes and the dirt we do he said people refused to give god his due praise suppressing the truth in their wickedness theyre ruthless therefore god gave them over to their sinful ways and because of nature we have no excuses chapter twos for those who think they dont fit in this category they think theyre on the path to glory nope wrath fury they point the guilty to hell theyre swelled lacking humility even though theyre filthy as well needing more than a bath because like a greedy man who hoards his cash in the same way theyre storing up wrath for the day when gods righteous judgment is revealed and all see their sin debts an infinite amount when no secret word thought or deed will remain concealed before god to whom we must give account thats why it feels so good to be justified either trust or die you must decide stakes is high make the right decision for the lamb whose life was given christ is risen as we continue the apostle paul is a man on a mission to convince you of hostile fallen humanitys condition learn what god disperses hurt your pride verses romans 3 12 all have turned aside theyre worthless bound by sin a race of hopeless slaves verse 13 their throat is an open grave it says that they use their tongues to deceive the poison of vipers is under their lips look at hip hop thats not a hard one to believe cats who run with their cliques with guns on their hips doesnt it fit thugs found dead in clubs verse 15 their feet are swift to shed blood police end up deceased in mad hot zones verse 17 the way of peace they have not known everybody appears hard despite the clear odds verse 18 bottom line nobody fears god his holy word declares were all lawbreakers well thats the explanation for this planets confusion if god didnt intervene the fall would take us all to hell but praise the lord he granted a solution and  it feels so good to be justified either trust or die you must decide stakes is high make the right decision for the lamb whose life was given christ is risen verse 21 gods righteousness he manifested it but thats nothing new its in the old testament it belongs to those who put their faith in christ if you believe youre redeemed because he paid the price we were hostages but then he set us from the bondage of sin so now we pay homage to him verse 24 divine gift justification the most important term in a christians vocabulary and most believers cant define it thats frustrating cause understanding this helps us resist the adversary christ spilled his capillaries thats why our savior cant be mary thats a burden only the god man can carry in justification god declares sinners to be righteous by grace alone through faith alone in the finished work of christ alone he saves his own add anything to that youre in the danger zone at the cross god treated christ as if he lived my life im so perverted thats why he was broken and murdered through faith god treats me like i lived the perfect life of christ yo i cant earn it and no i dont deserve it but it feels so good to be justified either trust or die you must decide stakes is high make the right decision for the lamb whose life was given christ is risen
