Paper on Justification - Part 2

Paul took very serious the gospel that he gave out and Romans is one of the best epistles that he wrote concerning the depth and process of the salvation of one of God’s people. Paul wastes no time making sure that the people that read this letter know their place. Everyone is sinful and totally depraved. "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one." Romans 3:10b-12 (ESV) There can be no justification without the knowledge of the individual’s sin. Unless someone confesses their sin and that God is just in punishing the sin of man or, more importantly, the sin of the individual, they cannot be justified.
