Luke 13:2-5
2 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”
We are all sinners, none born good nor capable of doing good to the level we were made to be. If we suffer catastrophe or live a relatively quiet life, the one thing we have in common is the need to repent, to turn from our sin and turn to the one who took our sentence of guilt and paid our legal price of a death sentence - Jesus Christ. No attempts of good deeds or church membership can help us. We all come short in our eternal crimes and need this mediator to be set free and live.
