God has declared that all human flesh, without expression, has sinned. There is not a righteous or just person on all the earth. Man is a born sinner. Sin is the natural behavior of man born into this world. Man's sin separates him from God. Jesus Christ is the only exception to this truth. Jesus Christ is the God-man who dwelt among men but did not sin. Jesus Christ is the only avenue man has to restore himself to righteousness. This truth is an irrefutable teaching of the Bible.
