What does the Bible say about God's requirements for acceptance?

The Bible clearly states that God requires perfect obedience to His holy law, which is the basis for His acceptance of individuals. In Romans 2:13, it says, 'For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.' The dilemma is that while God's law requires this obedience, there is not a single person who has ever been able to fulfill it due to the sinful nature inherited from Adam. Hence, the Apostle Paul emphasizes in Romans 3:10 that 'there is none righteous, no, not one.' This sets the stage for understanding our dire condition before a holy God.
