“But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!”Romans 5:8 HCSB
We have moments of purity and times of failure. Some of our failures are bigger than others, but even then our relationship with Jesus is the same; He is the perfect one, the saviour, and we are the grateful recipients. As we start to get things right we can come to depend on our own ‘goodness’. Yet Isaiah tells us they are filthy rags (64:6). These filthy rags were menstural rags, so very smelly and despicable.
Therefore, rejoice not in that you got away with sin but that you did indeed sin and were forgiven. This truth is the leveller. Every time pride in righteousness comes in, bam! We fall and need to repent. We so easily forget that our lives are about Jesus, not ourselves.
We are good, because He is good! Amen!
