God, as revealed in His word (Romans 7:12; Psalm 19:7-9; Psalm 
119:137-138; Psalm 119:144; Psalm 119:172; Deuteronomy 4:8; Nehemiah 
9:13; Ezekiel 20:11; 1 John 5:3; Micah 6:8).

That would also mean, not you (Job 40:2; Job 40:8; Isaiah 29:16; Isaiah 
45:9-10; Romans 9:20-21; Romans 11:33-35; 1 Corinthians 2:16; Proverbs 
14:12; Proverbs 21:2; Jeremiah 10:23).

When they were conceived in iniquity (Psalm 51:5), when they came out of 
the loins of a fallen man (Romans 5:12), when they went astray from the 
womb (Psalm 58:3), when they rejected the knowledge of God in creation 
(Romans 1:19-21), when they practiced the things they condemn others for 
(Romans 2:1), when they sinned and fell short of His glory (Romans 3:23).

He provided a sacrifice which is sufficient in Christ (Hebrews 
10:10-14). It's man's fault if he rejects that (John 3:18-19).

Since Christ provided an atonement for our sins which meets God's 
righteous demands (Romans 3:24-26), one avoids this sin by relying on 
Christ's death and resurrection alone to make them right with God (John 
3:18; Romans 4:24-25).

Good News †

The crucifixion of Christ completely satisfied the debt of our sins 
toward God (Colossians 2:14), which God verified by bringing Him back to 
life (Romans 1:4). As a result, God is proven just when He forgives 
believers (Romans 3:26) and delivers them from the approaching wrath (1 
Thessalonians 1:10). Eternal salvation is a free gift appropriated by 
faith (Romans 6:23). If you believe in Him, call on the Lord for your 
deliverance (Romans 10:9-13):
