10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; 11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. 12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
This is one of my most revered verses in scripture. It is confronting and insulting, but an honest reality of how God views us and why he need to chase Him as our highest authority. Even if we’re made in his image, he have fallen into sin, but through Jesus we have been redeemed and offers forgiveness if we repent and follow him. (John 4:16)
No amount of good deeds (although important) can justify us toward God because we can never measure up to God's standards, we are tainted with sin. Only having a personal relationship with God can save us. Having this mentality is important because it eliminates human pride as faith is based on our relationship with Him, not performance.
