“There is none righteous, no not one.” Rom.3
Coming to grips with one’s own sinfulness is absolutely necessary if we are to have a healthy spiritual life. If we do not admit our own failings, we will not seek help overcoming them. We are not told that “all have sinned,” so that we can use an excuse for our behavior like the person who rants “I’m just being human.” We are told this for precisely the opposite reason--so that we will stop comparing ourselves to others and own up to our own shortcomings.
