We like to think that we are good people, but the truth is that all have sinned, disobeyed God. He will not have sin in his presence. His love for us sent Jesus to pay for our sins. This satisfied his justice. The sins had to be judged. His grace sent Jesus and we must believe in him to be forgiven of our sins.
Rom 3:23 All have sinned and are not good enough to share God's divine greatness.
Rom 3:24 They are made right with God by his grace. This is a free gift. They are made right with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ.
Rom 3:25 God gave Jesus as a way to forgive people's sins through their faith in him. God can forgive them because the blood sacrifice of Jesus pays for their sins. God gave Jesus to show that he always does what is right and fair. He was right in the past when he was patient and did not punish people for their sins. And in our own time he still does what is right. God worked all this out in a way that allows him to judge people fairly and still make right any person who has faith in Jesus.
Rom 3:27 So do we have any reason to boast about ourselves? No reason at all. And why not? Because we are depending on the way of faith, not on what we have done in following the law.
The spirit of the age likes to delude people into thinking they are gods and goddesses. Actually this is demonic and not true. See clearly the way to become the adopted children of God through faith in the one that God sent to atone for our sins. This is no time for foolishness. Come to Jesus and walk in truth.
