About This Quote
In the Bible it says in Romans, “There is no one righteous, not even one.” In other words, there is no one who is completely good. There is no one who does not have a little sin or error in them. So to have a bigger estimation of God and a smaller estimation of sin, you must know that God’s truth is greater than your sin. Because if you don’t believe that God’s truth is greater than your sin, then you will never be able to tell the difference between right and wrong. The only way that we can do this is by trusting in Christ and relying on him for all our needs.
