Daily Walk in the Catechism

101. Can anyone, then, be saved by keeping God's commandments?

No. God's holy Law condemns everyone, for we are all disobedient.

Psalm 14:3 They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.

Ecclesiastes 7:20 Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

1 John 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Read also Isaiah 64:6 and Galatians 3:10-11.
