For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; — Romans 3:23

Regardless of how hard we work, no matter how good we are, or how hard we try, we will never be able to compare to the grandeur of the all-powerful God. When we are imperfect, pure, or holy, God does not expect us to behave as if we are flawless, pure, or holy. As an alternative, God provides us with his Son, who paid for our sins and provided us with righteousness, making us these things (see Colossians 1:12–23). (2 Corinthians 5:21). God is to be praised. Our Savior, Christ Jesus, deserves praise. Instead of trying to earn or acquire our salvation, let us follow Jesus as our Lord and express our gratitude to him for what he has freely given us.
