God requires a life of perfect obedience according to his holy law. A life that meets every jot and tittle of the law, Matthew 5:18. A life full of grace and truth in which there is no spot or blemish, 1 Peter 1:19. A Godly life, in which dwells all of the fullness of the Godhead, Colossians 2:9. A life that has been perfected through suffering, Hebrews 10:14. God requires a life that is worthy to sit at his own right hand as "The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords" Revelation 19:16.
God also requires a perfect sacrifice for our sins and the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2. An atonement that is as a lamb without spot or blemish, that was slain from the foundation of the world, Revelation 13:8. An atonement that will cover our sins with his blood, Hebrews 9:14 and will justify the ungodly, Romans 4:5.
This is what God requires for your salvation. The problem is that there is none righteous, no, not one, Romans 3:10. No one has what God demands for their salvation. We are all spiritually bankrupt and are sinners. To teach otherwise is to call the apostles and the prophets liars.
"We are all as an unclean thing, and our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind have taken us away" Isaiah 64:6.
Man is born a sinner, Psalm 51:5, lives his life before God as a sinner and dies as a sinner. This is the reason why man cannot save himself. If sinful man is to be saved his salvation must come to him totally and completely outside of himself. Thank God that it has in the work and the person of Jesus Christ. This is why Paul wrote,
"But God commended his love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8.
Before we were born God's plan of salvation was already in place. Before we were born we had ALREADY been reconciled unto God by the life and death of his Son Jesus Christ, 2 Corinthians 5:18. All that is required of us is that we believe upon his Son Jesus Christ. The work of salvation has ALREADY been done, we can now stand before God's holy court as perfect and complete "In Christ" Colossians 2:10.
