Romans 3:19-20, “Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For “no human being will be justified in his sight” by deeds prescribed by the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.”
We cannot do anything to please God such that we will receive salvation. It is only through God’s love and grace that we receive our salvation. As Paul writes, he became aware of his sin because of the law. He didn’t gain anything by attending to the law for a prescription to gain eternal life. What he learned and shares is that we are sinners – all of us. We should be reticent to sin and willing to confess our frailty to God who saves us. For by our confession we have made known to God that we seek His redemption and restoration. “For through the law comes knowledge of sin.”
Prayer: Eternal and forgiving God thank You for today and for the gift of love through Jesus Christ who by His blood redeems us. Help us to see where we have fallen short of Your Glory and come humbly before You in confession, seeking forgiveness and redemption. We pray this in Jesus’ Name. AMEN.
