What does the Bible say about being guilty before God?

The Bible teaches that all have sinned and are guilty before God. Romans 3:23 states that 'for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.' This guilt is pronounced by God's holy law, as seen in Leviticus 4:13, which shows that we have all transgressed God's commandments. The law serves to silence us, making every mouth stop and demonstrating that all the world is guilty before God (Romans 3:19). Thus, inherent in humanity is the reality of guilt, as we fall short of God's perfection and justice.
