How do we know that we are guilty in God's eyes?

The apostle Paul in Romans 3 presents a compelling case for universal guilt, stating that 'every mouth may be stopped and all the world may become guilty before God' (Romans 3:19). This means that no one can claim innocence; every human being, regardless of their background, is guilty of sin. This is reinforced by the law, which reveals sinfulness rather than offers a means of justification. Thus, single points of offense lead to universal guilt, encapsulating the dire state of humanity before a holy God.
