What does the Bible say about being a poor sinner and Christ being everything?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that all are sinners, yet Jesus Christ is the all-sufficient Savior for those who trust in Him.

The scripture highlights that we are all inherently sinful, as mentioned in Romans 3:23 which states, 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' In our sinful state, we can do nothing to merit God's favor. But the gospel reveals that Jesus Christ is everything for us—He is our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. As articulated in Colossians 3, our identity is transformed in Christ; we put off the old self and put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge after the image of Christ. This transforms our view of self, as we realize that we are indeed poor sinners and nothing at all, but through faith, Jesus becomes our all in all.
