Romans 3:9-10 (NKJV) 9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. 10 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one;
There isn’t a single one of us who has anything to offer God.
We are all impure, stained by our sin and guilty of more than we could ever even hope to repay or compensate for by our own righteousness.
Our righteous acts, apart from Christ, are nothing. They are like dust that blows in the wind and disappears, leaving nothing behind but traces of dirt.
Isaiah 64:6 (NKJV) 6 But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
But get this; God loved us so much that He overlooked our sinful state and created a way for us to have fellowship with Him!
Through the blood of Jesus, God sees as us fit to come before Him and talk to Him, fellowship with Him and make our requests known to Him.
The holiness of God and the desperately-fallen state of man are two things that our minds can never fully comprehend. We can see bits of pieces of how badly the human race has fallen, but we will never truly understand the depth of it.
We can see glimpses and bits & pieces of God’s holiness, but we will never be able to truly grasp His holiness.
In our fallen state, we could not stand in His presence. It would be literally impossible for us to do so and live.
But through the blood of Jesus, we can approach Him boldly, without fear, and not worry about losing our life because of it.
Thank you, Father, for your provision and your grace over our lives!
Let’s thank Him today for making a way for us, bridging the gap between us and Him, removing the barriers of sin, through Jesus, once and for all.
He is worthy to be praised and adored!
