Reading Romans chapter 3 verses 10 to 18 was hard because it reminded me that apart from God we just can’t do it and without the Holy Spirit there’s just no way. I find it amazing how some times us Christians can get caught up thinking that we’re doing just right and then you go back to the word and you find out man you’re far from it. It Humbles you, and it puts you in check! Ahh but Grace……is deep and just wow. Man Miz there’s so much thought and emotion  that you can’t even describe what you’re trying to say Lol!!!
Tell me about it. I describe the Word of God like the Rocky Mountains, when they are far away they look small and even unassuming, but as you get closer you realize the grandeur of them. When we get closer to the Word of God we are dwarfed and humbled and this ought to bring us to worship. Oh God how marvelous are your ways!
I would apply them by gaining wisdom and understanding through reading of God's word and applying his Holy spirit and my everyday life and to practice and not being hypocritical. That way I do not fulfill these Bible verses that fulfill the desires of the spirit, which is the complete opposite of what all these are and what is the complete character of what Jesus is.
We also apply these verses to describe our human condition without Christ. Remember we live by the Holy Spirit instead of applying the Holy Spirit. We trust the work that Christ did. I agree we should not be hypocritical in our walk, but remember these Bible verses Paul uses to cement the idea in the mind of the Jews he addressed that all men fall short of God's righteousness. We also must apply them in this way. I appreciate you always engaging on here!
