Q. Who has sinned?
A. Romans 3:23
A. Romans 3:23
All of humanity is subject to the just judgement of God [Romans 3:19]
All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory [his righteous requirements for perfect obedience— Romans 3:23]
The human race is under the curse—which is death [Romans 6:23]

"We are dead in sins and transgressions,” (Ephesians 2:1). We are by nature “children of wrath” (Ephesians 2:3), we “do not seek God” (Romans 3:11), and like the leopard, “we cannot change our spots” (Jeremiah 13:23).
In fact, we cannot even come to God unless he first draws us to himself (John 6:44, 65). How, then, can we say as our contemporaries do, that our salvation depends upon our choice, our willing, our efforts, even if God helps us do these things.
Scripture is clear that the latter is not the case. In the first chapter of John’s Gospel we read, “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh
nor of the will of man, but of God" (John 1:12-13). And, as Paul says in Romans 9:16, “It does not, therefore, depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.”.. Notes from Kim Riddlebarger
