What is God doing from the current point in Romans until chapter 3?
From this point in Romans until chapter 3, God is building His case against the whole human race, just like a prosecuting attorney. He categorizes humanity into three groups—the immoral or amoral, the moral, and the religious—and concludes all three guilty. Paul then declares in Romans 3 that none does good.
Les explains that from this point until Romans chapter 3, God is, in so many words, building His case just like a prosecuting attorney. God is building His case against the whole human race and will categorize them into three areas. The first is the immoral, or even amoral—those destitute of any morality. Next come the moral man or woman, and then the religious individual. The conclusion on all three is guilty. Then Paul comes to the tremendous conclusion in Romans 3: “There is none that doeth good. There is none that doeth righteousness. They are all become unprofitable.” Les reminds his audience that he is not looking down his nose or judging; he is simply showing what Scripture says—God building His case against all humanity, starting with those most obviously guilty, the immoral.
