Read : Romans 3 : 9-24
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. - Romans 3:23
A preacher asked a group of young people what they must do before obtaining forgiveness. One young man replied, "Sin". That makes us all candidates for forgiveness.
Dr. Karl Menninger told about a man standing on a corner in Chicago. Said Menninger, "He would point to one and then another and intone loudly the single word, 'Guilty'! Then without a change of expression, he would assume a stiff stance for a few minutes and do the same thing again. One to whom he pointed turned turned to a companion and said, 'But how did he know?' That man could have pointed to any one of us" (Fingertip Facts File).
The Bible states clearly that "all have sinned." Everyone is guilty - by birth and by choice. All are therefore under condemnation of death, both physical (separation of the soul from the body) and spiritual (separation of the soul from God). The charge of guilty can be removed, however, by faith in the Lord Jesus. He died on the cross to pay the penalty our sin demanded; and because He was the perfect Son of God, God grants forgiveness on the basis of His atoning death.
Anyone who has not accepted Jesus can do so today. His offer of free salvation still stands. He will change your verdict from "guilty" to "justified" (Rom. 5:1) - Richard De Haan
No One Is So Good That He Can Save Himself And No One Is So Bad That God Cannot Save Him.

Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come! - Elliott
