We cannot be made right on our own, and so God made a plan to rescue us from our sin and bring us into a relationship with him. The only people who think they can keep God’s laws are those that don’t know them-because God’s laws are perfect, and none of us are perfect. The law simply shows us how sinful we are” (NLT). Romans 3:20 says, “No one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands.
