Sin is a universal reality. No one escapes it—no matter how religious or irreligious you are. If that is true—and it is—then what difference does it make if a person has any religious privileges at all?
That's the question that first century Jews would have asked Paul as he argued for the universality of sin. And that question leads to many others: Is the Jewish religion simply of no value? Did God's work with His Old Testament people fail? If being a Jew makes a person no more righteous before God than being a Gentile does, then what advantage is there to being a Jew?
Paul takes up these objections to his teaching in chapter 3 of Romans. In the first 8 verses of that chapter—which is our text for today—we find Paul dealing with a battery of questions—9 to be exact. They all arise from his teaching on the universality of sin.
