Romans in Thirty – Day Four

Day Four

Lord God, thank you for the space to read your word today.  Please be my guide during this time.  I believe your word and its power to speak truth in my life.  Help me dwell on the truth you have for me in this passage.  In your name I pray, amen. 

Read today’s passage: Romans 3:1-20

Reflect on the passage:
Why might verses 1-8 be considered funny?

Verse 20 seems to be the crux of today’s reading, indicated by the word, “therefore” (NIV). Go back and re-read 9-20 to understand why this “therefore” is true.

Respond to your reading & reflection:
Identify some social norm that you take pride in following.  It could be holding the door for another, taking your hat off at the dinner table, saying “excuse me,” etc.  Where does this desire come from?  Why is this action or behavior important to you?  What do you gain?  What do others gain?
