wat does Romans 3:23 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," mean?

Answer 1

We are all sinners and we need to be forgiven.

Answer 2

It means that we have all sinned - no one is exempt from this! None of us are worthy of God's glory and mercy but since He loves us so very much He extends it anyway. We are His children and He only wants the best for us.

Answer 3

We cannot save ourselves, we need God. No one can live up to what God created us to do and be, we all fall short from the glory of God. Our only hope is faith in Jesus Christ. He is the way to the Father's house.

Answer 4

Here is what this means:

Some sins seem bigger then other because their obvious consequences are much more serious. Murder for example seem to us to be worse then hatred and adultery seems worse than lust. But this does not mean that because we do lesser sins we deserve eternal life. All sin makes us sinners, and all sin cuts us off from our Holy God. All sin, therefore, leads to death (because it disqualifies us from living with God) regardless of how great or small it seems. Don't minimize "little" sins or overate "big" sins. They all separate us from God, but they can all be forgiven if we just ask Him to forgive us.

Answer 5

it means that through adam the curse was passed on to us, the future generation, and so we are all born sinners and fall short of our natural glory. they say no one is righteous no not one, but people will misinterpret this by stopping right there, but if you read on it says that Jesus died for our sins so that we can use his blood to wash away our sins and be restored provided we repent, and walk in grace, then we become righteous.

Answer 6

Is It True that “All Have Sinned”?

HAVE you ever wondered why, in spite of all the efforts of sincere people, man has so far failed to solve most of his pressing problems? Why is it that, although having a fairly clear vision of what he wants, peace, prosperity, happiness, freedom from sickness, he seems to be getting farther and farther from these desirable goals?

A major reason is found in these words of the apostle Paul: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Rom. 3:23) Yes, most of mankind’s endeavors have been frustrated by human sinfulness.

Some may question the apostle Paul’s remark. They may say: ‘How can you believe that I am a sinner? I don’t do any harm to my neighbor. I live a quiet life and don’t cause any trouble. What sins do I commit?’ The truth is, however, that sin involves more than merely hurting our neighbor or causing trouble. Yes, these things are sins, and to avoid them is commendable. But the word “sin” has a wider application. Paul associated it with ‘falling short of the glory of God.’ Hence, it has to do with our relationship with our Creator.

The words translated “sin” in our modern Bibles originally carried the thought of “missing the mark” of perfect obedience. Obedience to what? To God’s will. Hence, a modern Bible dictionary says: “Sin is both a falling away from a relationship of faithfulness towards God and also disobedience to the commandments and the law.” Since this is the case, only God himself can authoritatively tell us what he views as sin, and this he has done in the Bible.

Understanding the process of heredity, we can see why we all are imperfect, why all of us sin and die. How so? Adam, the father of all humankind, turned away from God, sinning and damaging himself. In Bible terminology, Adam “missed the mark,” fell short of the mark or standard of perfection he originally had. (Rom. 3:23) Having lost perfection, he could not pass it on to his children. The heritage he transmitted was not complete, but was weakened, damaged, an inheritance, not of life, but of death. The result is that “through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.” (Rom. 5:12) Knowing that we all sprang from one father, inheriting imperfection through no fault of our own, should make humans more considerate and kind toward one another. However, this is not the general attitude.

Adam became a sinner. According to the meaning of the Hebrew word for “sin” he ‘missed the mark.’ He could no longer measure up to perfect standards. He died spiritually and also began to die physically in that day. Adam now had a lack, a moral weakness that also affected him physically, for “the sting producing death is sin.” (1 Corinthians 15:56) Adam’s spirituality being ruined, his mental workings were unbalanced, and this contributed toward unbalance and deterioration of his physical body. Adam had to die. He could not pass on full strength morally or physically to his children, for he no longer had it to give. Consequently, “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” which Adam had once reflected in his perfection.

Answer 9

All are sinners, no exceptions. None are to be glorified for glory is for God only.

Answer 10

It means that no one has ever lived a perfect life - everyone has done something wrong. We do not live up to God's standards.

Answer 11

all have sinned and are unworthy of th glory of God. It doen't mean however that no one is worthy. everyone can be worthy if evryone repents for their sins. a sin sincerely repented is forgiven and is not counted as sin.
