It is when men start thinking that they are smart that they get in trouble. Humility tends to keep men between the lines and in a mode of reliance on God, but men often get \u201ctoo smart\u201d for God with higher education. Good companion verse is I Corinthians 10:12, <strong>\u201c<\/strong><strong><sup> <\/sup><\/strong><strong>Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cThou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?\u201d<\/strong> Romans 2:23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where we get the expression \u201cbreaking the law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201dGod forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.\u201d<\/strong> Romans 3:4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine what this world would be like if \u201clet God be true, but every man a liar\u201d was the heart conviction of every person, <em>or just every Christian!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><sup>\u201c<\/sup><\/strong><strong>As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:\u201d<\/strong> Romans 3:10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the first of the Roman\u2019s Road verses, and every Christian should have it memorized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cFor all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;\u201d<\/strong> Romans 3:23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another Roman\u2019s Road memory verse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><sup>\u201c<\/sup><\/strong><strong>But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.\u201d<\/strong> Romans 4:5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This verse is not considered a Roman\u2019s Road memory verse but it probably should be. A good companion passage is Ephesians 2:8-9, <strong>\u201c<\/strong><strong>For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: <em>it is<\/em> the gift of God: <sup>\u00a0<\/sup>Not of works, lest any man should boast.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cBecause the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, <em>there is<\/em> no transgression.\u201d<\/strong> Romans 4:15<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great verse to use when showing someone that young children are \u201csafe,\u201d even though they are not yet \u201csaved.\u201d Where there is no law (such as in the innocent heart of a child) there is no transgression. So there\u2019s no need to baptize or sprinkle a child. They\u2019re <em>safe <\/em>until they are saved. If they never receive Christ, then they are safe until they reach their age of accountability, which varies from one child to the next. Companion verse is Deuteronomy 1:39, <strong>\u201cMoreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cProfessing themselves to be wise, they became fools,\u201d Romans 1:22 This verse needs to be posted above every door of every college classroom in America and on every diploma.
