TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23
​
​Memorize this Verse: (Cover the verse text and using just the first letters of each word try to recite the entire passage.)
23. F A H S A C S O T G O G

Notes on verse:

This is not just the heathen, but the Jew, as well. No one can live completely free of sin. Our justification in Jesus is (justification meaning: just as if we had never sinned). We have sinned, but we are not guilty, because we have been washed in the blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ).

These last two verses contain a parenthetical comment explaining that God can bestow His righteousness on all who believe, Jew or Gentile, because all men, without distinction, fail miserably to live up to the divine decree.

“All have sinned”: Paul has made this case beginning with (1:18 – 3:20).
