They are all gone out of the way,.... In Psa 14:3; it is said, "they are all gone aside"; as persons in debt: man had a considerable stock of righteousness, holiness, knowledge, &c. but he has run through all, has contracted large and numerous debts, has been obliged to hide himself, has been used as a bankrupt, and turned out of house and home: Christ indeed has undertook to pay, and he has paid all the debts of his people; and has put them into a better state than ever Adam was in: in Psa 53:3, it is rendered, "everyone of them is gone back"; that is, from God; from his commands, and from their former state and condition: here the phrase is rendered by the apostle, "they are all gone out of the way": that is, out of the way of God and his precepts, out of the way of holiness and righteousness, of light and life; into their own ways, the ways of sin, Satan, and the world of darkness, and of death: so Aben Ezra explains it, "out of the right way"; Kimchi and Ben Melech paraphrase it, "out of the good way: and so" they are together become unprofitable; the word in Psa 14:3 and Psa 53:3; is translated, "they are become filthy"; which R. Aben Ezra interprets by "they are corrupt"; and R. Solomon Jarchi by , "they are turned to corruption"; the metaphor is taken from stinking flesh, which is tainted and corrupted, and so good for nothing, hence here rendered "unprofitable"; for so men being corrupted by sin, are of no use, service, and advantage to God, to men, or to themselves; but, on the contrary, nauseous to God, and to all that are good, and hurtful to themselves and others: for there is none that does good, no, not one; and therefore must be unprofitable. There is none that can do good in a spiritual manner, without the grace of God, strength from Christ, and the assistance of the Spirit; and there is not even a spiritual man, that can do good perfectly, and without sin.
Romans 3:11
There Is No One Righteous
10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one. 11There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. 12All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”

(Through the Bible) 1 John 1-2:11
By Chuck Smith3.0K1:09:09Through The BibleROM 3:111JN 1:71JN 2:41JN 2:61JN 3:21JN 3:7In this sermon, the preacher shares a story about a man who had been living a miserable and mean life for over 16 years. One day, his little daughter came running to him, but he pushed her away and she got seriously burned. Feeling remorseful, the man approached the preacher and asked if God could forgive him for his past actions. The preacher assured him that the blood of Jesus Christ can cleanse a person from all sin, no matter how dark or bleak their past may be. The sermon emphasizes the transformative power of the gospel and the hope it offers to all who confess their sins and seek forgiveness.
(Genesis) Genesis 3:14-19
By J. Vernon McGee3.0K10:00GenesisGEN 3:15MAT 6:33JHN 8:44JHN 11:25JHN 15:16ROM 3:111JN 4:19In this sermon, the preacher discusses the judgment of the fall as described in verse 14 of the Bible. He emphasizes that God must deal with the creature He made, who has turned away from Him. The serpent, which was different at the beginning, is cursed by God and Satan is also judged, affecting mankind. The preacher highlights the call of divine justice, sorrow, and love in this judgment, offering redemption through the promise of the coming Savior. The sermon emphasizes that salvation is God's search for man, as man ran away from Him.
Matthew 13:1-18. Christ Relates the Parable of the Sower, and Explains Why He Spoke in Parables.
By Favell Lee Mortimer0PSA 27:8MAT 13:12MAT 13:18JHN 8:12JHN 12:40ROM 3:111CO 2:10HEB 3:15Favell Lee Mortimer preaches about the parable of the Sower, emphasizing the importance of Jesus' explanation to fix the meaning and avoid differing opinions. Jesus reveals heavenly knowledge as a gift from God, highlighting the ignorance and lack of desire in humanity to seek and know God. Those who have the desire to know God are taught by Him, as seen in the story of a Hottentot girl earnestly praying to know God and being fulfilled by God's promise through a faithful missionary. The Pharisees' rejection of Jesus' warnings led to their spiritual blindness, serving as a warning to all who hear the gospel but do not respond to Christ's call, risking hardening their hearts and closing themselves off from the light of truth.
Truth That Seeks Lost People
By A.W. Tozer0Divine PursuitThe Nature of TruthGEN 3:9ISA 6:1JER 1:5EZK 1:1AMO 7:14MAT 22:14LUK 19:10JHN 1:12JHN 14:6ROM 3:11A.W. Tozer emphasizes that truth is not something we must search for, but rather a Person—Jesus Christ—who actively seeks us. He illustrates this through biblical examples, showing that God consistently takes the initiative in seeking out humanity, from Adam in the Garden to the prophets of the Old Testament and ultimately in the New Testament with Jesus. Tozer highlights that while many sought Jesus for physical needs, few sought Him for the truth, underscoring the reality that the truth is pursuing us, yet many do not respond. The sermon calls attention to the divine pursuit of lost souls and the importance of recognizing and responding to this truth.
