This opening message of the "Risen to Reign" series lays a doctrinal foundation from Romans 3:1–20, exposing humanity's universal depravity and the utter impossibility of attaining righteousness through works of the law. Drawing from Paul's argument, which strings together Old Testament texts, it presents a courtroom-style indictment of both Jew and Gentile alike—declaring that no one is righteous, no one understands, and no one seeks for God. It challenges cultural assumptions about human goodness and confronts the tragic theological ignorance that has infected even the visible church. It reminds us that the gospel only becomes good news when we first understand the bad news: we are utterly condemned apart from Christ. As we prepare to celebrate the resurrection, we must first come face-to-face with the reality of our guilt, the holiness of God, and the absolute necessity of divine grace.
