Everyone is a sinner - There are no exceptions to this fact. The word "ALL" is an absolute. No one is excluded. This verse seems to be an almost overlooked to the unconvicted sinner. There seems to always be an excuse to its declaration - an exception to the verse's statement. However God tell us simply that no one is without sin.

Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

GOD loved us, as sinners, so much that HE gave HIS son to die for our sins. In the early Greek it is translated that "so loved the world that God gave"… so we see a totally different connotation of the verb usage and sentence structure… We see that God has taken the emphasis off Himself and put it on the world. No other debt has been so completely paid as the sin debt through the death of this CHRIST on the cross. All the scriptures that declared GOD'S demand for man were fulfilled (or filled full) in CHRIST'S Death.

Romans 5:12 "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned"

Death means sure separation forever from GOD. Eternal Life comes by trusting JESUS CHRIST. All without CHRIST are considered spiritually dead. This does not overlook the fact of physical life - as a matter of fact physical life is required in order that the sinner might be saved.

Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Have you ever received a check for a day's work? Well simply put as long as you sin your eternal check will have death in the dollar column instead of life. So as long as you are in sin you are paying for your own trip to hell. But as scripture says if you accept the gift of God then you will have eternal life.

Romans 10: 9-10 "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation."

The instructions given here are profound in all of the Bible. There has not been seen a more open invitation to the lost than this invitation. It offers clear welcome to the place of redemption and conversion. In verse ten is seen the two fold response to GOD'S Grace raveled. The sinner under this impetus is moved with an unseen hand to the supernatural work of Bible salvation. To be born again, you must believe that JESUS died for your sins, and declare that you accept HIM as the LORD of your life.

Romans 10:13 for "whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved" This is GOD'S promise to you that HE will answer your prayer of confession and repentance and save you.

If there could be anything done to gain Salvation it would no longer be free. The Scripture states the fact thus in John 3:16: "For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Romans 12:1-2 "Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."
