You cannot climb your way to God. Paul makes that clear in Romans 3:21–31. Every person has sinned, every moral resume is a trainwreck, and every attempt to earn God's favor only digs the hole deeper. The good news? God did not wait for you to get it together. He gave you the righteousness of his Son as a gift. This message unpacks what that means and why it should make you the most humble person in the room.
