Rather it is about who we are.
We are sinners who are depraved in nature.
We violate the LAW by our SIN NATURE.

8. The Sin Factor Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God.”
Romans 5:12 “…sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all men, because all sinned.”
1 Corinthians 15:21-23 “For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man. For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.”

9. Why Christ?
1 Peter 2:24 “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that, having died to sins, we might live for righteousness; by His wounding you have been healed.”  
2 Corinthians 5:21a “He made the One (that is Jesus) who did not know sin to be sin for us…”
