📜 KJV BIBLE STUDY: Romans 3:23
📖 VERSE: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

--- FULL ANALYSIS ---
[The Church] Phrase: "For all have sinned,"
Note: This is a statement of universal truth applicable in the Dispensation of the Grace of God. There is no distinction; both Jew and Gentile are included in the condemnation. This sets the stage for the revelation of God's righteousness apart from the Law (Romans 3:21). The 'all' here means all mankind, demonstrating that salvation must be based on grace and faith alone, since no one is righteous enough to merit it.
   Supporting Scriptures:
   * Romans 3:10: "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"
   * Romans 5:12: "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"

[The Church] Phrase: "and come short of the glory of God."
Note: To 'come short of the glory of God' means to fail to meet God's perfect standard. The original purpose for man—to bear God's image and exercise righteous dominion—was lost through the Fall (Romans 5:12). Since man is inherently incapable of achieving this glory, justification (being declared righteous) must be a free gift based entirely upon the finished work of Christ, received by faith alone, as taught by the Apostle Paul.
   Supporting Scriptures:
   * Romans 3:24: "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:"
   * Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
