How do we know that all are guilty before God?

Answered in 1 source

All people are guilty before God as Scripture states that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

The universality of sin is a foundational doctrine in Reformed theology, supported by Romans 3:23, which declares, 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' This demonstrates that each person is in need of God's grace as no one can achieve righteousness on their own. Furthermore, Romans 2:1-4 addresses the self-righteousness of individuals who may judge others while failing to recognize their own sinfulness. Paul highlights that whether one is a pagan or a religious person, all are guilty of denying God's righteousness if they rely on their works for justification. This overarching truth leads to the acknowledgment of the necessity of Christ as the sole means of salvation and the provision of righteousness for sinners.
