It is a hard lesson to understand that we as humans are not good, and standing before God we most assuredly will never measure up to Him in this life no matter what amount of Good, or Good life we may think we have lived.
At the end of the day, it will always be your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that will justify you before God. For Jesus Christ righteousness is the only way to have access to God, and we are justified freely by our faith in Him.
It will never be to look at ourselves as oh we are a good person, or we did this and that look at what we did for you God.
It will always be thank you God for your Son Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior for all He had done for the entire world!
Thank you God for the holy spirit you give, Thank you God for the grace and mercy you give, Thank you God for loving us so much you gave your son Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior who died on the cross for all people and was risen again by You.
9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
10 As it is written:
“There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
13 “Their throat is an open [d]tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;
“The poison of asps is under their lips”;
14 “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17 And the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become [e]guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
