Every human being is a descendants of the first man and woman who sinned against God and therefore their sin nature was passed down to us. This makes every member of the human race a sinner. Scripture tells us that we are born in sin and shaped in iniquity. That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Scripture also tells us that: if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves. The word of God continues, to tell us that there is none righteous, no not one. Again in scripture we learn that: All our righteousness are as filthy rags. Whatever righteousness we may claim is the righteousness of God. The Apostle Paul describes how even when one try to do good, evil presents itself. So even in our thoughts we sin. We have nothing to boast about. It is God’s unmerited favor that saves us. The good news is that God has provided a way for sinners to repent and be saved. Only through Jesus Christ can we receive salvation.
