Romans 3:11-26
Paul exposes the depravity of man as a problem that must be addressed. Jesus is the righteousness that comes apart from the law, as revealed through the Law and the Prophets. It is only through faith in Him that we are made righteous.

Romans 3:1-10
The words of God were first entrusted to the Jews. Now, through the Gospel, they have come to us—producing faith that frees us from the consequences of sin. Since mankind has the ability to choose whom we will serve, we are ultimately responsible for our own destiny.

Romans 2:17-29
The Jews believed that judgment was for everyone but themselves. Paul confronts this mindset by emphasizing that a true Jew is one inwardly. In the same way, Christianity—or our religion—does not save us on its own. It is imperative that Christians cultivate a genuine heart relationship with God, as hypocrisy gives the non-religious world reason to blaspheme.
