He just flows from Ch 2 to 3. No one is righteous we are all under the chains of sin. The law cannot save us because we sin. This is what Mike talked about on sunday and I love it! Be saved through your faith in Jesus Christ! It is the only way! We are saved because have faith in Christ, through Christ's death taking our sin on the cross. So does this mean we forget about the law NOT AT ALL. This faith is to fix our problems with the law!!! So then there is nothing to boast about because you did not save yourself from the chains of the law by your own works but by your faith in Jesus Christ.
If you look at the footnotes Paul quotes Psalms 8 times.

Romans 3- Everyone has sinned but is justified through their faith in the Lord. Everyone is saved if you give your faith to God. He saves all! People that worship their idols and some how think their idols are their God are not very smart people! Everyone needs God, he even created you! Having faith in God will get you so much farther in life, he is your savior and your rock! With having faith in the Lord like Tanner said it is the only way to be saved!

3- this reminds me of what Pastor Mike said on Sunday about righteousness. The chapter first points out the no one is righteous not even one. And that the law is not there to justify us by to make us realize that we are sinners. But we can be considered righteous in God's eyes only through our faith and belief in Jesus Christ. After we believe in Jesus we should uphold God's ways in the bible.

All people are sinners but we are redeemed though God and his righteousness. I know that Romans 3:23 is an important verse to a lot of people.For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. If this is all that we knew it would be a bad ending... nothing to look forward to because we don't live up to his standards. But we know that his grace mercy and righteous we have hope and eternal life. So with the belief in Jesus Christ we can gain this and he was our sacrifice. God is fair and just and he gives us all chances that we deserve. Once again nothing to boast about because nothing is our doing it is all through Jesus.
