Scripture as a whole testifies to the fact that mankind has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Subject to condemnation, we are all prisoners of sin in the sense that we cannot stop sinning.1 As a result of our sinful nature we are unable to render the obedience that is required for eternal life in God’s presence.
22 Mais l'Ecriture a tout renfermé sous le péché, afin que ce qui avait été promis soit donné par la foi en Jésus-Christ à ceux qui croient.
