I want to draw your attention today to a few verses from the New Testament, specifically from the Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans, chapter 3, verses 10 through 12. These verses, though brief, carry a profound and foundational truth about each one of us. They state:

10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.'"

Now, reading these words, our immediate reaction might be one of discomfort, perhaps even defensiveness. "No one righteous? No one who does good? Surely that can't apply to me, or to my neighbor, or to the good people we see in the world!"

But let's pause and consider the deep wisdom embedded here. Paul isn't just making a casual observation; he's quoting from the Old Testament, reaffirming a consistent biblical message about the human condition.

Firstly, "There is none righteous, no, not one." This isn't about whether we're "good people" in the eyes of society. It's about a divine standard, God's perfect righteousness. When measured against that absolute perfection, every single one of us falls short. We are not perfectly holy, perfectly just, or perfectly loving in every thought, word, and deed. This verse humbles us, reminding us that we cannot earn our way to God's favor through our own merits.

Secondly, " There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God." This points to a deeper spiritual reality, the total depravity of man. Left to our own devices, our natural inclination isn't to perfectly comprehend God's ways or to earnestly pursue a relationship with Him. The world often distracts us, our own desires can mislead us, and our limited human understanding struggles with divine truth. This isn't to say people don't have spiritual longings, but that our natural seeking often falls short of truly finding and submitting to the God of the Bible, total spiritual depravity, that is!

And thirdly, "They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one." "They are all gone out of the way" implies a deviation, a straying from the path God intended for us. And "unprofitable" in this context isn't about our value as human beings created in God's image, but about our inability, on our own, to produce spiritual fruit that perfectly pleases God. Even our best intentions and actions can be tainted by self-interest or imperfect motives when viewed through a divine lens.

So, what's the takeaway from such a seemingly bleak assessment? Is it to despair? Absolutely not.

The beauty of these verses, and indeed the entire book of Romans, is that they set the stage for an even more magnificent truth: God's grace.

These verses highlight our universal need. They show us that we cannot save ourselves, we cannot make ourselves righteous, and we cannot perfectly seek God on our own. And it is precisely because of this universal inability or total depravity that God, in His infinite love and mercy, provided a solution.

Romans 3:10-12 isn't a message of condemnation, but a prelude to hope. It clears away any illusion that we can stand before God based on our own achievements, self-righteousness, good works, and even any religion. It pushes us to acknowledge our spiritual bankruptcy, so that we might embrace the incredible richness of what God offers freely.

This passage is foundational to understanding why Jesus Christ came. He came because "there is none righteous, no, not one." He came because we had all "gone out of the way." He came because we needed a perfect substitute, a perfect sacrifice, to bridge the gap between a holy God and unholy humanity.

So, as we reflect on these verses today, let them humble us. Let them remind us that salvation is not a reward for our goodness, but a gift for our need. And in recognizing our profound need, may we turn with even greater gratitude and faith to the One who alone is righteous, the One who seeks us, and the One who makes us profitable in His eyes – our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

What is Abomination according to the Bible?

Leviticus 20:13
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Deuteronomy 22:5
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

Romans 1:26-27
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Abomination is when a Person defies against the nature of being a Man or a Woman. Example: Same s*x relationship; Man with another Man, or Woman with another Woman, and or being Bis*xual. Hence, abomination is more of a behavior, but started in the pretense of the heart and the mind.

The person who has this kind of behavior is called Abominable in the Bible. And the judgement for these people is foretold.

Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the ABOMINABLE, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE: WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH.

The Bible also says that even those who are effeminate (binabae) will not enter the heaven.

1 Corinthians 6:9
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor EFFEMINATE, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Acts 4:10-12

10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

What should people have to do in order for them to go to hell? Do wrong? Commit sin?

The answer is, you have to do nothing! Going to hell is conveniently effortless for all. Humans, in their natural state are all sinners before God.

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

One may argue and claim his/her own righteousness or kindness or being religious. Well, the Bible describes human's own righteousness as filthy rags:

Isaiah 64:6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

In fact, because of human's sinful nature, the Bible recorded what God saw in people's heart in the early days, and it also true today, and even worse:

Genesis 6:5
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Hence, in this truth from the Bible, humans (that includes you and me) are only bound to do wrong and commit sins continually.

Going back to our sinful nature, all of our sins is punishable by death:

Romans 6:23a
For the wages of sin is death;

And this death is not an ordinary as the physical death of man, which is considered the first death only. The death what the Romans 6:23 talking about is found in Revelations 21:8, the second death. And if you read the verse, you will find yourself in those group of sinners, you may deny it, but you cannot escape the truth that you're one of them:

Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

What you should do in order to go to hell? My friend, as we mentioned at the beginning, there's nothing you have to do, because in your sinful nature, you are already going there: hellbound, so to speak. You say you are kind and righteous because of your religion? Yes, no doubt about it. But your kindness and righteousness even your religion is just dirty and filthy rags before God, and will not save you from going to hell.

Now, is there a hope for us then? On the other hand, what should a man do in order to go to heaven?

If going to hell is conveniently effortless, the same principle applies for one to go to heaven. If we continue to read the Romans 6:23, it says:

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

There is a gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. When we say gift, you don't have to exert any effort for the gift, you only have to accept it and be thankful for it, otherwise, it is no longer a gift. After all, none of us deserves a gift from God, it is only by His grace:

Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Despite of our sinful nature, God made a way for us:

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Jesus Christ, left the splendor of heaven, became a man, took the shame of all our sins upon Himself, paid it all by laying His life at the cross of Calvary that was supposed to be paid by us in Hell, and after three days, resurrected so that there will be a hope of heaven for you and me and to those who will believe and accept Him. He chose bear all of the pains and loneliness for us to have the convenience of going to heaven.

Going to heaven is also conveniently effortless by accepting the gift eternal life, by accepting Jesus Christ in your life and in your heart as Lord and Savior.

Which convenience would you prefer today? Your current convenience of going to hell? Or perhaps the convenience of going to heaven? The choice is yours!

But I beseech you my friend, come to Christ and be saved today!
