You fail to see that we are all sinners, that no one can fulfill the Law. We have all sinned and without the atoning blood of Christ to wash away our sins we will be condemned by the Law. So how does the one who has sinned become righteous in the sight of God without the blood of Christ. Paul is right is saying the doers of the Law will be justified. Those who never transgress the Law will be justified. There is only one catch. No one can do it. It is impossible not to sin. It is impossible to keep the Law. Only Christ can.

You fail to see that the blood of Christ atones for the sins of all.

"You fail to see that the blood of Christ atones for the sins of all."

Christ died for all, but they can only receive salvation if they accept it. They have to recieve it. If I have a 100 dollars in my hand that I give to you free of charge. It is only yours once you accept it. You do not have it until you accept it. Everyone has access to salvation, they need only to receive it.

Romans 5:15-21
"But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord"
