Who has sinned according to Romans 3:23?
According to Romans 3:23, all have sinned—not only Gentiles but also Jews, indeed the whole human race. Every person has fallen short of the glory of God. This universal indictment covers all humanity, leaving no group excluded. The verse makes no exceptions based on ethnicity or background.
Les teaches from Romans 3:23 that the phrase “all have sinned” is not limited to the Gentiles or the Jew; it applies to the whole human race, who have sinned and come short of the glory of God. He contrasts this with simply believing Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, which is foundational but not enough in this age of grace. Romans 3:24 then declares that believers are justified freely by His grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation through faith in His blood.
