Family Bible Study

Having six people in a room reading Romans three can be a challenging task especially when four of them are kids!  My family and I try to have Bible studies on monday night to read through some scripture.  The verse that stood out to me today was Romans chapter three verse twenty.  This treasure says "Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin." NIV.  The law lets us know we need a saviour and the saviour Jesus Christ lets us know we need to do more than just following the law!  In the Old Testament, Jewish people claimed to be right with God because they did not eat pork, they did not work on the sabbath and they were circumcised.  Now, there are those who claim to be in right standing with God because they go to church, tithe and they dont curse.  Going to church, tithing and not cursing does not mean your in a right standing with God.   How would you explain to your pastor, your child, or Jesus that you are in a right standing with God?
