Don’t Stop Short Of The Glory

Almost every single believer in the Lord Jesus Christ would deny that they have “stopped short of the glory of God” simply because they have made a decision for Christ.  The premiere scripture used in the Romans Road format for witnessing to unbelievers is Rom.3:23—for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  That plan is to show unbelievers proof from the Bible that they are sinners and need to repent and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.  While the fact of “stopping short” is true for unbelievers, it is also true for many who count themselves as believers.  The word “sinned” and the words “come short” each effect the other, i.e., are causational upon each other (as may be seen in the next couple of excerpts in the definition of “miss the mark”).  It is entirely possible for not only unbelievers to “stop short” of the glory of God but believers as well.
