How do we know that no one is righteous?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 3:10 states, 'There is none righteous, no, not one,' affirming that in our natural state, all are sinners.

The assertion that 'none is righteous, no, not one' comes from Romans 3:10, which emphasizes humanity's sinful condition due to the Fall. The Apostle Paul argues that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Therefore, in our human nature, righteousness is unattainable. However, this does not suggest that God cannot declare certain individuals righteous through faith in Christ. By His grace, those chosen by God are considered righteous because Jesus became their sin, bearing the punishment deserved by sinners. This distinction highlights the work of Christ as central to the imputed righteousness that believers possess.
