Today’s Thought “Talk to the Hand?” G. Ward

Romans 3:4

Far from it! Rather, God must prove to be true, though every person be found a liar, as it is written: “So that You are justified in Your words, and prevail when You are judged.”

 

Our stay in earth can be likened to an amusement park’s roller-coaster; perhaps initially (for some, not me) it can be exhilarating, but if there’s no off button, one may soon regurgitate all they’ve ingested. Moreover, this stay has customarily lacked a kind of rightful investigation of do’s and don’ts, keeping us prone to error and whereas some propose sufficiency that more thwarts the pain of shortcomings by more contemplating an undesired consequence of yielding to whims and desires, all continue to fall short (Ro.3:9-18).

Followers of Christ must therefore admit – significantly, that without our Lord’s righteousness implanted in us, we’re on the roller-coaster with no off button (3:21-24). Furthermore, we cannot seat ourselves (Ever!) in the chair of arrogance, but absolutely devote ourselves to a commanded spiritual responsibility onto others knowing they also need HIS righteous Implant, not our condemnation (Jas.2:12-13).
