Rescued from the Folly of Self-Salvation

Summary

We all are born with the potential for great good. But we’re also born with the potential for unimaginable evil because we were all born with sin.

As we read the last part of Romans 3, Paul gives us a stinging indictment of human nature—a life filled with doing good for others, being completely selfless—even those good works are tainted with sin and unsuitable for entrance into heaven.

But God has a plan, completely independent from anything we can do, that will save us and take away the stain of our sinful natures.
