What does the Bible say about our need for a savior?

The Scriptures emphasize the need for a savior due to our imperfection and inability to meet God's holy standard. Romans 3:10-12 states, 'There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God.' This underscores that we cannot stand before God on our own merit. Instead, we rely on Jesus, who embodies perfection and intercedes for us (1 John 2:1). He is our advocate in the face of God's law and holiness, providing the righteousness we require.
