What does the Bible say about being guilty before God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, leaving us guilty before Him.

According to Scripture, we are all guilty before God because of our sinfulness. Romans 3:23 states that 'all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' This universal guilt speaks to humanity's fallen nature and the inherent inability to achieve righteousness on our own. In the sermon, Joseph's brothers recognized their guilt when they confessed, 'We are truly guilty concerning our brother' (Genesis 42:21). This acknowledgment of guilt reveals a critical aspect of divine grace, which begins with the sinner's recognition of their sin against God.
