And here is the handouts for digging into Romans 3:10-20 with your kids…

Romans 3:10-18

10 as it is written,

“There is none righteous, not even one;

11 There is none who understands,

There is none who seeks for God;

12 All have turned aside, together they have become useless;

There is none who does good,
There is not even one.”

13 “Their throat is an open grave,

With their tongues they keep deceiving,”
“The poison of asps is under their lips”;

14 “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness”;

15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood,

16 Destruction and misery are in their paths,

17 And the path of peace they have not known.”

18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; 

20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

 

Below is the outline of a person. Read Romans 3:10-18 and draw or write what you learn on it.

Where is your heart? Is it inside or outside your body? Circle your answer.

 

   Inside              Outside

 

THINK ABOUT IT…

Jesus is teaching us that the things we say and the things we do come from what is inside of us… they do not come from what is outside of us. 

Think about the last time you were in trouble because you said or did something mean to someone. Did you try to get out of trouble by blaming them for what they did to you first?

If you were to try to tell that excuse to Jesus what do you think He would say to you?

Where would He say the mean thing you said or did came from?

THINK ABOUT IT…

As we broke down this part of Romans 3:10-13 we were able to see what was inside this person. Now as we begin looking at the rest of Romans 3:13 and Romans 3:14 we are going to see what is coming out of this person. We see that it first comes out of their throat. 

This is going to be kind of gross, but I want you to think about when you get a sick bug in your tummy and it makes your insides all yucky… What happens? 

That’s right! You throw up and that throw up comes out of your throat. 

This is kind of like what we are going see in Romans 3:13-14. This persons insides are bad and yucky, their heart is bad. So what comes out of them is going to be yucky and bad too. This is their “fruit”.

 

Read Romans 3:13. 

 

What do they do with their tongues?

 

they keep  __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __

 

What is under their lips?

 

__ __ __ __ __ __  of asps

 

What is their mouth full of?

 

__ __ __ __ __ __ __

and

__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __

You might be wondering what an asp is… An asp is a small and most venomous serpent or snake. Its bite is fatal unless the bitten part is immediately cut away from your body.

 

THINK ABOUT IT…

Knowing this about the asp, look up and read Matthew 18:8-9. Jesus wants us to know how serious sin is in our lives. It is just like a bite from this asp. 

 

Romans 3:10-14 shows us what is inside of this person and also shows us what comes out this person through their throat and their mouth. We see how they speak.

Now we are going to look at how they act. We are going to see what they do and where they go.

 

Read Romans 3:15-17 and answer the following the questions. 

 

What are their feet swift to do?

 

shed __ __ __ __ __

 

 

What is in their path?

 

__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __

 

and

 

__ __ __ __ __ __

 

 

What have they not know?

 

the path of  __ __ __ __ __

 

 

Read Romans 3:18 to find out why they do the the things they do and say the things they say.

 

There is no __ __ __ __  of  __ __ __ before their eyes.

 

 

As we look at this person we may think they are very, very, very bad. We may even be comparing ourselves to them right now and thinking we are okay because we are not that bad. However, we have to remember what we have learned in all of Romans. We have to remember that God does not compare us with each other. He compares us to Himself and His Law.

 

Read Romans 3:19 and answer the questions below.

 

How many mouths are closed?

 

__ __ __ __ __  mouth

 

Who is accountable to God?

 

__ __ __  the  __ __ __ __ __

 

 

 

Read Romans 3:20 and answer the questions below.

 

Who can be justified (be okay with God) by keeping the Law?

 

___ ___   flesh

 

Can anyone keep all of God’s Law and never break even one? Circle your answer.

 

Yes             No

 

Read Romans 3:20 again. If no one can be saved by keeping God’s Law then why did He give us the Law?

 

through the Law comes  the __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ of __ __ __

 

 

 

THINK ABOUT IT…

Read the Scripture verses printed below. 

Oh that they had such a heart in them, that they would fear Me and keep all My commandments always, that it may be well with them and with their sons forever!

(Deuteronomy 5:29)

“Now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require from you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the Lord’s commandments and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good?

(Deuteronomy 10:12-13)

 

What kind of heart does God want us to have?
