THE NEED OF SALVATION - By John Baker

THE NEED OF SALVATION
By John Baker

Scripture Reading: Romans 3:9-12

The first step to realization of the need of salvation is the  fact of sin. Paul uses this pattern in his epistle to the Romans.  He starts with explaining the depravity of the Gentiles and  how Man fell into sin. Man fell into sin because of  disobedience and because he was unwilling to accept and keep  the truth of God (Romans 1:18-25). In Romans 2 the religious  Man is shown to be guilty before God (See Romans 2:17-24).  It is all summed up in Romans 3:9-12, "What then? are we  better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved  both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is  written, there is none righteous, no, not one: there is none that  understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are  all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable;  there is none that doeth good, no, not one." Do you see where  we fit in the above quotation? We are part ofthe "none." 


Man is absolutely hopeless apart from the grace of God. We have no standing before God apart from the work of the  Lord Jesus Christ. It is necessary in understanding salvation  to show the fact of sin and the need of the Saviour. If we  cannot understand the terribleness of sin, we won't appreciate   the greatness of salvation.
