A Christian educator walked down a busy city street, enjoying a breath of fresh air before his next lecture. As he turned the corner, a tract – wielding, zealous young Christian confronted him, “Are you saved, brother?” the young woman asked. “Saved from what?” That response seemed to confuse the young woman, but it started a good conversation.

Text: Romans 3:1-31. “Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have practiced deceit…”, verse 13 [NKJV]. When a tomb is open you smell what is inside, a bad smell.

By faith you attain righteousness[…]
