Paul's letter to the Romans is heavy, deep theology. No doubt about that. But sometimes I think it helps to simplify the message. Here's what I see in chapter 3.
God is inherently good. Men are inherently sinful. No one can be declared righteous, or in right standing with God as a result of following His law, mostly since "all have sinned". This is for Jews and Gentiles alike. Finally, God provided an atoning sacrifice in the person of Jesus Christ, and we are justified only by faith in Him.
Not too complicated. See you next week.
