Welcome to
The Essential Jesus
blog. I will be posting things of interest along the way as TOGETHER we journey through the life of Christ! All in hopes of sharpening our focus on Jesus so that we might run with endurance the race set before us (Hebrews 12:1-3)!

Guilty as Charged!

Week 2, Day 3 Reading: Psalm 14:1-7


Psalm 14:2-3 The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.

This passage is one that the Apostle Paul quotes from in writing his magnus opus (greatest work), the New Testament book of Romans. In chapter three of that book, Paul quotes these words (see Romans 3:9-20) to build his argument that there is no one who is not under the dominion of sin ... that not one of us is innocent ... that ALL of us are guilty before God. And if left to ourselves, every single one of us would continue down the path toward eternal destruction.

Do we need a saviour? Yes! Yes! Yes!

Thanks for stopping by . . .
