MAN IS A SINNER
“All
have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
(Romans 3:23)
Sin
is transgressing God’s law and includes such things as lying, lust, cheating,
deceit, anger, evil thoughts, immoral behavior and more.
And because of this, MAN CANNOT
SAVE HIMSELF.
If you wanted to
save yourself by good deeds, do you know how good you would have to be?
The Bible says you would have to be perfect.
“Therefore, you
shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
(Matthew 5:48)
With such a high
standard, no one can save himself for God also says:
“Whoever shall
keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.”
(James 2:10)
