WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
Romans 3:23–24
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
LEADER TAKEAWAY
Our goodness is not the standard—God’s holiness is. Scripture says all of us fall short, and being made right with God is something He gives freely by grace through Jesus Christ.
TRY SAYING
“I understand why you might think that. Most of us naturally think good people should be accepted by God. But the Bible says all of us fall short—and that being made right with God is something He gives us by grace through Jesus.”
