Be Quiet and Plead Guilty

“But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”

ROMANS 3:21-26

Ponder This

The law cannot save you. God has given His holy law, but the law is given to show us we’re sinners. What is the wisest thing you could do today? Shut up and plead guilty. That’s what Paul is saying. This phrase has been used a lot in the wrong sense, but here’s what he’s saying: “That every mouth may be stopped” (Romans 3:9b). Essentially God said, “Shut your mouth!” Then Scripture says, “That all the world may become guilty before God.”

We won’t know the mercy and forgiveness of the King until we admit our sin. So many times, we want to strut to Heaven. But here is the verdict of the court: All have sinned. God says, “Be quiet.” Paul says, “Be quiet, every mouth, shut up, plead guilty.” All have sinned, but thankfully all can receive grace.

  • Why do we struggle to plead guilty before God?
  • When did you admit your guilt before God? How did that change your relationship with Him?

Practice This

Consider anything you may be thinking or doing that does not meet God’s standard. Plead guilty before God; repent and receive His forgiveness.
