Romans 3:10-12

God’s justice is infinite
Man is finite and can never
Pay the infinite penalty it demands…

We could never pay off the debt we owe God
His mercy is so great,
It is therefore clear that God could only pay the penalty
However, this could appear strange but in
His great love
He become a man and took our ‘place’
This is grace and the pain was seen on His face

God offers forgiveness
Therefore, let us not use a good deed to hide our sin
It will be forgiven because of what He did

All have sinned and have fallen
Short of the glory of God!
Because of this, it is clear that
Good deeds cannot pay for sins
This is not only biblical but also logical!
Tragically, many do not believe this
