What does the Bible say about man's condition before God?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible states that all men, both Jews and Gentiles, are under sin and cannot be justified by their own deeds.
According to Romans 3:9-20, the Bible emphasizes that no one is righteous or good before God. Paul concludes that both Jews and Gentiles are under sin, which means we are all born with the guilt and power of sin. This scripture highlights the universal depravity of humanity and affirms that we cannot justify ourselves through our actions or adherence to the law. Instead, it underscores the fallen condition of man, illustrating that all have turned aside and are unprofitable, necessitating the grace of God for salvation.
