The Bible reveals that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and that sin leads to guilt and condemnation.
According to Scripture, sin entered the world through one man, Adam, leading to death and condemnation for all. Romans 3:23 states, 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' This means that all of humanity shares in the guilt of Adam's original sin and is born spiritually dead, unable to achieve righteousness on their own. The weight of this guilt creates a conscience that haunts every person, revealing the desperate need for a Savior.
