Romans 3:9-20
The Gospel:
Why we need it…


The word Gospel means good news or good message.

In our text today, Paul reminds us of why the Gospel (good news) is so needful for mankind.

Key Verse:
Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”


We need the Gospel for the following reasons:

I. Sin has affected our character. – (Romans 3:10-12)

II. Sin has affected our conversation. – (Romans 3:13-14)

III. Sin has affected our conduct. – (Romans 3:15-18)

IV. The conclusion to our bad situation is the promise of good news. –
(Romans 3:19-22)

Closing Thought:
We have a serious issue called sin, that has affected us all. This will eventually cause spiritual death. The only remedy we have available to us is called the Gospel.


Paul calls us, as believers, to amazing and high standards that are impossible to live up to without the Holy Spirit at work in our lives.

Paul reminds us of our response to the Great Shepherd:

I. As God’s sheep, we are to rejoice always. – (1 Thessalonians 5:16)

II. As God’s sheep, we are to pray continually. – (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

III. As God’s sheep, we are to give thanks constantly. – (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

Do not miss this in verse 18 “this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

IV. Paul’s closing warning to God’s sheep. – (1 Thessalonians 5:19-22)

Closing Thought:
We must constantly be on guard against the attacks of the enemy. He is the roaring lion walking about seeking someone to devour.
