ROMANS 3:23

It is not enough to simply know that God loves us. We have to accept His love and realize that sin is what separates us from having a close fellowship with Him. Romans 3:23 simply states that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We all are descendants of Adam and have an inherent nature to sin. Asking God to save us and cleanse us from sin is part of the beginning of a Christian life. Letting Him control and direct our life is a key part of being fully committed to God.
