Romans 3:19

Copyright Ó 2015 J. Neely
Romans 3:19

19 Now [de] we know [eido] that [hoti] what things soever [hosos] the law [nomos] saith [lego], it saith [laleo] to them who are under [en] the law [nomos]: that [hina] every [pas] mouth [stoma] may be stopped [phrasso], and [kai] all [pas] the world [kosmos] may become [ginomai] guilty [hupodikos] before God [theos].   KJV-Interlinear

19  Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.   ESV

There is no shortage of opinions out in the world and most people are blinded by their own opinions.  They disregard scripture, refuse to listen, refuse to take instruction and refuse to learn. Thus they condemn themselves by means of their own stubbornness.

Here is the proof.

The Law, which is the reference to the Mosaic Law, states emphatically, that you have to be perfect as God is perfect.

The Law spells out what you must do in order to be perfect.

But the Law makes it very clear that no person is capable of keeping the Law.  Therefore, since you cannot live by the Law, then you must die by the Law.

And because no one can live by the Law, then another means of being saved is required.  That is of course Jesus Christ.

Every mouth must be stopped, and that simply means that all of the human opinions out there, are worthless air.

People argue endlessly, find excuses, disregard their obligations, blame others constantly, refuse to accept the responsibility of digging out truth, want someone else to do things for them.

And so, people by their own actions, prove that the Law is in fact correct in finding them guilty.
