Romans 3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew (ISRAELITE)? or what profit is there of circumcision?
3:2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God (THE PROMISES OF GOD).
ACCORDING TO EVERY WAY THEY WERE ENTRUSTED WITH GOD'S PROMISES.
3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, "That Thou mightest be justified in Thy sayings, and mightest overcome when Thou art judged."
QUOTED PSALMS 62:9.
IF YOU DO THINGS HIS WAY.
GOD IS FAIR AND JUST.
3:5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous Who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man).
GOD CHASTISES BELIEVERS AS WELL AS UNBELIEVERS.
3:6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
GOD DISCIPLINES.
3:7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie (SIN) unto His glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
3:8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) "Let us do evil, that good may come?" whose damnation is just.
IN OTHER WORDS, SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT AS LONG AS THEY ARE SAVED THEY DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER IF THEY SIN.
A BIG MISTAKE! WE ALL HAVE TO ANSWER FOR SINS WE HAVEN'T REPENTED OF.
3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved (BEFORE CONVICTED) both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
3:10 As it is written, "there is none righteous, no, not one:
THE QUOTATION (10-18) IS FROM SEVERAL PASSES OF O.T. ALL REFER TO THE SAME SUBJECT. VERSES 10-12 (GENERAL) ARE FROM ECC. 7:20, PSALMS 14:2-3, 53:2-3 (VERSES 3-4); VERSES 13-18 ARE FROM PSALMS 5:9-10, 140:3, 10:7, ISAIAH 59:7-8, PSALMS 36:1-2. VERIFICATION OF THESE REFS, FROM THE STANDPOINT OF PAUL'S ARGUMENT, THROWS MUCH LIGHT UPON THE O.T. PASSES IN WHICH THEY OCCUR.
3:11 There is none that understandeth, there in none that seeketh after God.
TO SEE AFTER GOD YOU MUST SEARCH OUT THE ORIGIN. HOW? YOU MUST GO TO THE 1ST EARTH AGE AND FIND OUT THE REASON WHY WE ARE HERE.
WE MUST UNDERSTAND HIS ORACLES THROUGH HIS WORD.
3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre (GRAVE); with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
THIS REFERS TO THE BOASTERS AND WORKERS OF INIQUITY OF VERSE 5.
3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
THE ONES WHO DISGRACE GOD ARE FAKES. ANYONE WHO FOLLOWS THEM IS ALSO A FAKE.
3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
THEY BRING DESTRUCTION AND MISERY UPON THEMSELVES AND OTHERS.
3:17 And the way of peace have they not known:
PEACE IS CHRIST. HE IS THE PRINCE OF PEACE.
3:18 There is no fear (REVERENCE OR FEAR IN THE HEBREW) of God before their eyes."
THE ONES WITH NO FAITH DO NOT FEAR OR LOVE GOD.
3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE LAW KEEPS US OUT OF TROUBLE AND REMINDS US OF OUR SINS.
3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
THE LAW IS OUR SCHOOL MASTER. IT POINTS OUT OUR SINS.
3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
IT BRINGS US TO FORGIVENESS AND WE HAVE A PEACE OF MIND.
3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
HE DOES NOT LEAVE ANYONE OUT....SALVATION IS FOR ALL.
3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
3:24 Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation (THE MERCY SEAT=GOD'S MERCY) through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the REMISSION OF SINS THAT ARE PAST, through the forbearance of God;
HE SAYS PAST SINS NOT FUTURE.
WE WILL ALL FALL SHORT IN THE FUTURE. WE CANNOT REPENT FOR FUTURE SINS, ONLY FOR PAST. WHAT THIS MEAN? IT MEANS WE WILL HAVE TO REPENT EVERY TIME WE SIN.
THE MERCY SEAT WAS ALWAYS THERE FROM THE 1ST EARTH AGE.
3:26 To declare, I say, at this time His righteousness: that He might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? or works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
HE RIPPED THAT VEIL FROM TOP TO BOTTOM SO WE CAN HAVE ACCESS TO THE FATHER THROUGH THE SON. BUT...FIRST YOU HAVE TO HAVE FAITH.
3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without (APART) the deeds of the law.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE LAW DOES NOT GIVE US SALVATION BUT WE STILL HAVE TO OBEY THE LAW. A SIN IS A TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW AND WE WILL SIN IN OUR LIFETIME. SALVATION DOES NOT GIVE US AN EXCUSE TO SIN.
A SIN IS NOT ERASED FROM THE BOOKS UNLESS WE REPENT.
3:29 Is He the God of the Jews (ISRAELITES) only? Is He not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
HE HAS CREATED ALL PEOPLE.
3:30 Seeing it is one God, Which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
HE JUSTIFIES AN ISRAELITE AND A GENTILE IF THEY BELIEVE.
3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
OUR SALVATION COMES APART FROM THE LAW BUT THE LAW REMINDS US OF OUR SINS.
GOD'S WISDOM BRINGS US ETERNAL LIFE AND SUCCESS (PROVERBS 1:7).
GOD BLESS
