What is God's final verdict on the human race?
God's final verdict on the human race is that both Jew and Gentile are all under sin; there is none righteous, none who seeks after God. This applies to black and white, rich or poor, with no difference, for Scripture levels the playing field.
Les explains that the prosecuting attorney has laid out all his reasons and categorized the human race into three areas, and then Scripture gives the final verdict. Quoting Romans 3, he says Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin: there is none righteous, none that seeketh after God. He carries it further to Romans 3:22-23, where the righteousness of God is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe—Jew and Gentile, black and white, rich or poor—there is no difference. That verse makes a level playing field, so nobody can claim a better or lesser advantage.
