"Therefore by the deeds of the law
no
flesh will be justified in his sight..."
Romans
3:20
vs 23:
For there is no difference,
for
ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..."
"ALL have sinned..."
That includes Mother Theresa, Billy
Graham, the Pope, and you and me. Goodness, or good works will not
save ANY human being.
vs 1:
"By
the deeds of the law NO flesh will be justified..."
It
even includes Mary the mother of Jesus, for she confessed the Lord as
her
SAVIOR
(Luke 1:47) and in doing so she acknowledged that she is like all of
us - in need of a Savior because "ALL"
have sinned," including her.
“There is none righteous,
no, not
one;"
Romans
3:10
We are all together sinners, and God has provided ONLY
ONE way of salvation because the sin issue had to be dealt with. No
one can enter heaven with the guilt of sin upon him - but God
provided the atonement for those sins which was made for us by Jesus
Christ the Son of God. He bore the judgment on my sins, on your sins.
By faith in him, and in him ALONE, can we be saved. No one else, no
founder of any other religion bore upon himself our guilt.
"ALL
we like sheep have gone astray;
We
have turned, EVERY ONE, to his own way;
and
the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
Isaiah
53:6
"Nor is there salvation in any other,
for
there is no other name heaven given among
men
by which we must be saved.”
Acts 4:12
