There is no one righteous, not even one. Really?

[TonyChanYT]

Psalm 14:

1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good.
2The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.
3They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.

Psalm 53:

1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.

Foolish people deny God. They are no good.

Romans 3:

10 as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one; 11no one understands; no one seeks for God.

They are foolish. They all sin against God.

However, by the grace of God, some are not so foolish, Genesis 6:

9b Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.

Is there anyone who seeks God?

Jesus commanded everyone to do so, Matthew 6:

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Matthew 7:

7“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

In their natural state, people are selfish and deny God. No one is righteous without the grace of God. By the grace of God, people can seek and find Him.

See also No one is good—except God alone. Really?.

 

[ElieG12]

No one can consider themselves righteous because the assessment criteria about righteousness belongs to God himself.

Actually, since Adam and Eve sinned all their descendants lack the necessary qualities not to fail in absolutely anything, so it is impossible to even believe that we ourselves can reach a state of perfection by our own efforts.

Jesus said no one is good but our Father in heaven. Jesus never lied.
