What is the conclusion of Romans 3 about the human race?
Romans 3 concludes that whether a person is immoral, moral, or a religious Jew, all are enemies of God. Paul's case against the whole human race shows every person, regardless of background, stands as an enemy of God and needs His mercy.
Les explains that in Romans 1–3, God by the pen of the Apostle Paul built His case against the whole human race. First was the immoral person, then the good moral person, and then the religious Jew, since the Jews were the only real religion of Paul’s day. When you come into chapter 3, the conclusion is clear: whether they were immoral, moral, or religious Jew, they were all enemies of God. This highlights the mercy of God that runs throughout the first eight chapters and sets up Paul’s appeal in Romans 12.
