Ecclesiastes 7:
20
ESV
20 Surely there is
not a righteous man on earth who does good and never
sins.
Once in a while
you hear someone say something spiritual, and you just have to write it
down.
On February
22nd of this year, someone said something worth
repeating.
A great friend of
mine said... “Man has a higher opinion of themselves, than they even have
of God.”
Some folks find
great displeasure when you refer to them as a sinner.
But that’s what we
are, according to the Bible.
The Bible actually
says, there isn’t one righteous man who never sins.
That’s why I hold
so closely to this Holy week, and the observance of God’s expression of love for
His people.
Without the cross,
there would never be any hope for righteousness.
I go to church
with some pretty Godly people, but none of them are without
sin.
As much as we all
travel through the periods of sanctification, we all still fall
short.
What’s your
opinion of yourself? Does it need to be tempered? Then look no further than the
cross.
I can’t speak for
you, but I sure do need someone to save me, from me.
As you start this
week of remembrance, what will provoke you to even consider God’s deep love for
you?
If any of us still
think we are without sin, then we actually have deceived ourselves...
