What does Romans 3:19 say the whole world becomes?
Romans 3:19 declares that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may become guilty before God. It does not say the world becomes fit for heaven, as some think; rather, the whole human race is shown guilty, and guilt prevents freedom and liberty.
Les explains that Romans 3:19 first speaks to those under the law, to Israel, but then goes on to the whole human race. The verse says every mouth may be stopped and all the world may become guilty before God. Many people think it should say all the world becomes fit for heaven, but that is not what it says. The world becomes guilty, and there is no way into freedom and liberty while guilty. The lost are brought to the great white throne with no argument, realizing they have been guilty of unbelief and rejecting, and they go to their eternal doom.
Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
