How Does Sin Affect Us?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

10<\/sup>As it is written: \u201cThere is no one righteous, not even one; 11<\/sup>there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. 12<\/sup>All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.\u201d 13<\/sup>\u201cTheir throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.\u201d \u201cThe poison of vipers is on their lips.\u201d 14<\/sup>\u201cTheir mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.\u201d 15<\/sup>\u201cTheir feet are swift to shed blood; 16<\/sup>ruin and misery mark their ways, 17<\/sup>and the way of peace they do not know.\u201d 18<\/sup>\u201cThere is no fear of God before their eyes.\u201d<\/p>\nRomans 3:10\u201318 (NIV)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In Romans 3:10-18, Paul provides a comprehensive list of the effects of sin on humanity. It’s essential for us to not only acknowledge our sinfulness but also to understand the profound impact it has on our lives. Paul presents seven ways in which sin affects us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Legal standing: No one is righteous before God, and our deeds cannot change this fact. We stand guilty and condemned (Ro. 3:10).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Minds: Our understanding is darkened due to the hardening of our hearts caused by sin (Ro. 3:11; Eph. 4:18). Our sinful self-centeredness leads us to filter out reality, resulting in blindness to truth and impaired thinking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Motives: No one genuinely seeks God (Ro. 3:11b). Instead, we run and hide from Him in all we do, even in our religious and moral pursuits. (We will get into this more tomorrow).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Wills: We have all willfully turned away from God (Ro. 3:12; Isa. 53:6). Sin is our demand for self-determination and the right to choose our own paths.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Tongues: Our words are deceitful, poisonous, bitter, and cursing (Ro. 3:13-14). We use our tongues to lie for self-interest and to harm others’ interests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Relationships: Sin causes us to be “swift to shed blood” and to seek the downfall of those who hinder our access to our heart idols (Ro. 3:15-17). We are upset with people when they compromise our comfort, prevent our control, or withhold the approval we feel we need. When we don’t find satisfaction in God’s approval through the gospel, we lack inner peace and struggle to live peacefully with others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Relationship with God: We have no fear of God before our eyes (Ro. 3:18).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Two surprising claims stand out in Paul’s list: “No one seeks God” and “No one does good.” The absence of the fear of God is both a summary of our sinful condition and a pointer to the antidote for our sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This passage reveals the depth and pervasiveness of sin’s impact on our lives. It highlights our desperate need for God’s intervention and grace to overcome our sinful nature and to restore our relationship with Him and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Talk to God about the effects of sins and your needs for Him.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
