scripture
Romans 3:10-18
As it is written:
"There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one."
"Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit."
"The poison of vipers is on their lips."
"Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness."
"Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know."
"There is no fear of God before their eyes."
thought
Talking with my neighbor I found out that he goes to church when he feels he needs it. Everything is gravy as long as he is helping people. He said that he wasn’t out killing people so he felt he was pleasing God. I wonder how many people are basing God’s favor on their perceived goodness. I could run as fast as I think I need to but just because I think that I am fast won’t get me onto the track team. We have to judge ourselves by the standard that we are going to be held against. We need to use the bible to show them God’s standard. Only then can they see that their goodness is a filthy rags before God and that we are justified by the blood of The Lamb.
