Romans 3:1-8 The Message (MSG)
Do you ever find yourself letting things get “under your skin?” Well, Scripture teaches for our faith to be powerful it must get under our skin. Otherwise, it is only hypocrisy and religious talk; we can easily become smug and self-satisfied. God’s teachings are to be believed and practiced in the deep places of the heart; nothing superficial will sustain our faith.
The Apostle Paul was teaching the Romans about the need for trusting God and practicing His Word. The work of Grace is to deliver us from evil and straighten us out. Then we reveal the truth that God’s Word has gotten under our skin.
