I would say, you are entirely correct Lord, everything I have ever done is sin. Everything I have ever said is sin. Everything I have ever thought is sin. Everything I have ever done falls short of your glory and is sinful. My only hope is your blood that you shed for my sin Lord. I trust in your promise in 1 John 1: 9 “If we confess our sins, you are faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness”.

You alone Lord are worthy and no other is worthy Lord. Please forgive my sin Lord, I want to spend eternity with you.

Right, Lou.

All have sinned and fallen short.

It’s only by grace through faith in Christ that anyone is made worthy for heaven.

The goats in Matt 25 were quick to point to their works, believing in their hearts that they were worthy. Meanwhile, the sheep were granted access and humbly asked God when they did any of the things he was praising them for.
