Why do the best of men fail to attain righteousness by the law?

Answered in 1 source

The best of men fail to attain righteousness by the law because all have sinned and fall short of God's glory (Romans 3:23).

Even the most devout individuals cannot achieve righteousness through the law because all humans are inherently sinful. Romans 3:23 clearly states that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The Jews, despite their zeal for the law, could not attain righteousness as they relied on their works rather than faith in Christ. This illustrates that righteousness is only found in faith, as all efforts to uphold the law inevitably fall short of God's standards and grace.
