Isaiah 59:2, 6, 12
But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear. 6 Their webs will not become garments, Nor will they cover themselves with their works; Their works are works of iniquity, And the act of violence is in their hands. 12 For our transgressions are multiplied before You, And our sins testify against us; For our transgressions are with us, And as for our iniquities, we know them:

Sin separates everyone from God, and the webs we weave with self justification or the good works we do to appease God - these do no good to bring us any closer to Him. We deny our sin, but inside we know we are all sinners by God's perfect and unattainable standards. The only hope then is Jesus Christ in our place to take away our sin.
