Why do we need to turn to God for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

We need to turn to God for salvation because all have sinned and fall short of His glory (Romans 3:23).

The necessity of turning to God for salvation stems from the reality that all humanity is guilty of sin, as articulated in Romans 3:23: 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' This shared condition indicates that no one is exempt from the need for salvation; it is not solely reserved for the overtly sinful but applies to everyone. God’s call in Isaiah 45:22 to 'look unto me and be ye saved' reinforces the imperative that each person must respond to God’s invitation. Our natural inclination is to pursue our righteousness, which only leads further away from Him; thus, recognizing our spiritual poverty and turning to God is vital to receiving His grace and salvation.
