91 | Why Do “I” Need to Be Saved? (Romans 3:9–20)
Description
Maybe you know you’re not perfect.
You’ve made mistakes. Said things you regret. Made decisions you wish you could change. There are parts of your life you know could be better.
But needing to improve and needing to be saved are two very different things.
If your biggest problem is that you need to become a better person, then perhaps more discipline, better habits, and greater effort could fix it.
But what if the problem goes deeper?
In Romans 3:9–20, Paul brings us face-to-face with a difficult truth: we cannot make ourselves right with God.
In This Episode, We'll Discuss:
- ✅ Why being better than someone else cannot make you righteous before God
- ✅ What Paul means when he says we are all “under sin”
- ✅ Why sin is more serious than mistakes, flaws, or bad habits
- ✅ How our words and relationships reveal sin’s deeper reach
- ✅ Why good works cannot erase our guilt before God
- ✅ What it means for “every mouth” to be stopped before Him
- ✅ Why admitting you cannot save yourself is not the same as having no hope
Paul doesn’t prove that you cannot be saved.
He proves that you cannot save yourself.
And once we understand that, we’re finally ready to hear the good news of what God has done for us in Jesus Christ.
