Why can't we be justified by our own works?

Answered in 1 source

We cannot be justified by our own works because no human action can meet God's perfect standard of righteousness.

The sermon elaborates on the biblical truth that no man can stand justified before God based on his works or merits. It argues against the common notion that one can earn favor with God through obedience or faith. Instead, all believers are reminded that Christ's righteousness is the only basis for justification. This is a core tenet of sovereign grace theology, underscoring that our justification rests solely on Christ's sacrificial work and not our imperfect efforts.
