Everyone Has Fallen Short of the Glory of God.

If you break one part of God's law, you are guilty of all of it.

You need to understand that God's requirement goes beyond obeying a set of rules. God's requirement involves seeking Him, finding Him, having a relationship with Him, allowing Him to lead and give the power to be transformed and transfigured, and finishing the course. Anything less than that is sin. Rule-based people want to prove that they are good people. Unfortunately, even by such a low standard, they do not come close to obeying the laws of God.

• "I'm a good person." does not make the grade with God. God calls that self-righteousness, and He knows the intents of every person, you and me included.
• God must have only those who have been washed clean, and He provided His own Son, Jesus to do the cleansing.
• Some people think that they are pretty good, but God knows that all have sinned and fallen short of His glory.
