Romans 3:23
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”
Did you know this is not an Accusation?
Did you know this is not about Original Sin?
Did you know this has nothing to do with the so-called
“Romans Road”?
Did you know this is a bit of Sarcasm?
Paul here talking to the religious who think,
they are all that and a bag of potato chips.
So basically Paul is saying this; every bodies crap stinks.
He is not talking about how we all start this journey on earth as dirty rotten sinners,
rather he is saying we are all equally human and in need of Divine and Unconditional,
Grace & Love.
Which we receive as freely as we did our birth into this world,
no sinners prayer needed!
Did you hear that Billy Graham Ministries has abandoned the Sinner’s Prayer? It’s true. They wanted a “fresh” slogan to appeal to nonbelievers. Here is what they decided on:
“Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins.”
I personally don’t like it: too Lutheran.
