Romans 3:23 clearly states that 'all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,' affirming that no one is exempt from sin.
The universality of sin is established in Scripture, notably in Romans 3:23, which declares, 'For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.' This assertion highlights that every person, regardless of their background, is implicated in sin due to the fall of Adam. Additional passages such as Romans 5:12 trace this sinfulness back to Adam's transgression, indicating that the sinful nature has been inherited by all humanity. Hence, Scripture consistently paints a picture of a world locked in sin, underscoring the grace of God offered through Jesus Christ as the only remedy.
