Why People Fail To Realize That They Are Sinners?

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Oct 3, 2025

People fail to recognize their sinfulness because they compare themselves to others instead of to God, ignore His grace, underestimating the depth of their sins, and underesimate God’s perfect righteous standard revealed through Christ’s sacrifice.

The Apostle Paul proclaimed in Romans 1:17 that the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel. Before explaining in detail what this gospel is, he explains why this gospel is necessary and why God’s righteousness is needed in Romans 1:18–3:20 as follows: 1.

Mercy Took My Seat

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025

At the cross, justice demanded judgment, but mercy took our place—clearing our debt and crediting Christ’s righteousness to all who believe.
