What does the Bible say about sinners and salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and salvation is found only through faith in Jesus Christ.

The Bible clearly states in Romans 3:23 that 'all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.' This universal condition of sinfulness underlines our need for salvation. This is further clarified in Romans 4:5, where God justifies the ungodly through faith in Jesus Christ. Since we cannot save ourselves through our works, it is through recognizing our great sinfulness and our inability to rescue ourselves that we are brought to seek a Savior. Jesus came into the world to save sinners (1 Timothy 1:15), and through His sacrificial death, He satisfies divine justice while offering mercy and reconciliation to those who believe.
