Romans 3:23; Romans 3:10; Psalm 14:3 and Job 1:1; Genesis 7:1; Luke 1:6
- All have sinned
- (Romans 3:9-10)--"What
then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already
charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; 10as it is
written, "There is none righteous, not even one." - (Romans 3:23)--"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
- (Psalm 14:3)--"They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one."
- (Romans 3:9-10)--"What
- All have not sinned
- (Job 1:1)--"There
was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job, and that man was
blameless, upright, fearing God, and turning away from evil." - (Genesis 7:1)--"Then
the Lord said to Noah, "Enter the ark, you and all your household;
for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this time." - (Luke 1:5-6)--"In
the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest named
Zacharias, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife from the
daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6And they were both
righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the
commandments and requirements of the Lord."
- (Job 1:1)--"There
clearly condemns all under sin. But when it mentions people like Job,
Noah, Zacharias, and Elizabeth as people who were "blameless" and
"righteous," it is not saying that they are not sinners. It is saying
that they were godly people, who kept the commandments of God; and in
that sense, they were righteous. But of course, we realize that no one
can keep the commandments of God perfectly which is why all people are
deserving of damnation (Eph. 2:3), and why we need a savior. If righteousness can come through the Law, then Christ died needlessly (Gal. 2:21).
