Scripture teaches that all have sinned, and through Jesus Christ, redemption is available to all who believe.
Scripture clearly teaches the universality of sin, as illustrated in Romans 3:10-12: 'There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none that understandeth; there is none that seeketh after God.' This establishes the human condition, where every person is impacted by sin, making them in need of redemption. The gospel addresses this bleak reality, presenting Jesus Christ as the remedy for sin. Romans 3:24 states, 'Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,' emphasizing that redemption is a gracious gift to all who believe. This highlights God’s plan, wherein Christ’s sacrificial death covers our sin, making reconciliation with God possible for those who trust in Him.
