Ecclesiastes 7:20

"Indeed, there is not. righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins."

Points To Note:

1 This is the O.T. equivalent of Romans 3:23. Carefully note that the verse isn't teaching that all men are born sinners. Rather, once one reaches an age of accountability (Romans 7:9), all find themselves guilty of violating the will of God at some point. 2. The verse is also noting that no mere man can live. sinless life (1 John 1:8-10). Far from excusing our sins, it should rather point us to the need for divine wisdom and. Savior. 3. This verse also makes us face reality. We shouldn't blindly follow any man, even professed experts, for no man operating on his own wisdom is infallible. Apart from the Scriptures, every man is blind (Jeremiah 10:23). One more reason why we need to take advantage of every opportunity to study the Bible, meet with Christians, and be around spiritually mature and sound individuals (Hebrews 10:24-25).
