How does Scripture teach about our unworthiness before God?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture reveals that all have sinned, but God's grace offers us forgiveness despite our unworthiness.

The biblical narrative consistently portrays humanity as unworthy due to sin (Romans 3:23), yet it simultaneously highlights the unmerited favor of God through His grace. In 1 Timothy 1:12-16, Paul reflects on his unworthiness, yet he emphasizes that God’s mercy reached him. This underscores a fundamental aspect of the gospel: our standing before God is not based on our merit but on Christ's redemptive work. While we were unprepared and filled with doubt, God's grace abounds, demonstrating that He calls the unworthy to Himself. This grace is what transforms our hearts and brings us into fellowship with God.
