4. Committed the Oracles
Implication: Only Jews had the written inspired word Gentiles had messages from God - Dreams of Pharaoh - Signs of the wise men - Nothing to grasp

5. Why the Law is Good
The comparison of four men: The Jew who seeks God diligently The Gentile who seeks God diligently The Jew who is selfish The Gentile who is selfish
Ro 2:7 to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;
8 but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.

6. Jew seeking God Gentile seeking God Jew who is Selfish
Gentile who is selfish
Ro 2:7 to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;

7. None are Righteous
Context of Romans 3 ALL = The Jew and the Gentile NONE = The atheist ALL is not: every living person ever Children have no sin NONE is not: not one living person Jesus was righteous
ROMANS 3:19-31

8. The Nature of Man and Sin
Man’s nature is threefold: Body, Soul and Spirit – 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Man is created in God’s image Genesis 1:26-27 God’s nature is threefold Matthew 28:19
1Th 5:23 ¶ Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ge 1:26 ¶ Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.“ 27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

9. The Nature of Man and Sin
Man has God’s nature Not His divine nature The “Only Begotten Son” alone has this Man’s nature is good BUT: His flesh desires and can be tempted - Rom 7:5 Jesus shared this flesh – Rom. 8:3 Jesus was tempted but sinless – Heb. 4:15
John 1:14, 18, 3:16, 18, Hebrews 11:17, 1 John 4:9

10. The Nature of Man and Sin
Generally speaking, everyone sins Specifically, not necessarily (no one must sin) Practically, it is so (everyone who can does) It is not easy to say why this is The longer we live, the harder it is (Gen. 6:3) This means everyone we know needs the Gospel
John 1:14, 18, 3:16, 18, Hebrews 11:17, 1 John 4:9

11. The Main Point
Whether specific or generic, Law condemns Covenants of Adam, Moses, Noah can’t save God desired to justify men apart from Law Because it cannot justify men who sin Therefore God needs a NEW COVENANT
