Against whom does God build His case in the book of Romans?
In Romans chapter 3, God builds His case as a prosecuting attorney against the whole human race, not against any single segment, race, or class. He addresses the immoral, moral, and religious alike, concluding that all have failed, all are guilty, and none is righteous.
Les teaches that in Romans chapter 3 God acts like a prosecuting attorney, building His case not against any one segment, race, or class but against the whole human race. In chapter 1 He first addresses the immoral and amoral man, showing why they are guilty, then the moral man, who looks good outwardly, and then the religious individual, who thought his religion gave him everything needed to meet his Maker. The conclusion is that all have failed, all are guilty, and there is none righteous, no not one. He then picks up at verse 19 of chapter 3.
