Why do we say 'none are righteous' according to Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

'None are righteous' reflects the biblical teaching that all humans fall short of God’s standard of holiness.

The phrase 'none are righteous' is a key part of the biblical portrayal of humanity's moral state. As Romans 3:10 states, 'As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.' This emphasizes that our best efforts are insufficient to meet God's holiness, as even our righteous deeds are considered 'filthy rags' in His sight (Isaiah 64:6). This doctrine reveals the depth of our depravity and our total need for a Savior. It underscores the grace of God in providing righteousness through faith in Jesus, where believers are clothed in His righteousness instead of their own. Recognizing this truth leads us to reliance on grace for righteousness and salvation.
