Universal Accountability

In Rom 3:19-21, Paul again points of that the law says that those who are under the law are going to have two things happen to them.  First, every mouth will be silenced.  Secondly, the whole world is accountable to God.  There is universal accountability.  Paul says that no one can be declared righteous by the law.  The law was designed to help us become conscious of sin.  The law was God's method to bring us to Christ and the light.  Moses brought the law and Christ fulfilled it.  No one will be able to stand before the Lord and list their accomplishments, success stories or special circumstances.  God will look at only one thing, did we give our lives to Christ or not?  All our righteousness is as filthy rags.  Remember God keeps the books make sure yours are up to date.
