Keep Reading...

Romans 3:23-25 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 
Romans 3:23 is the simplest statement of fact - we are all sinners!  Often, however, we jump from there to other scriptures, when there is a lot of truth to follow.  The grace, atonement, redemption, forgiveness and righteousness available to us in Christ.  The next verses have a lot of the rest of the story.  There is hope for us sinners, in Christ.  Don't stop reading, and respond accordingly...
