“None is righteous, no, not one” Romans 3:10
When you come face to face with God there is an immediate clash between sin and the purity of God. You come under the microscope of God and He undresses you. Nothing is hidden and you see yourself for who you are. It is not a pretty picture!
There is a lifelong tension between God and self over sin. You think you’ve got it down only to find out how lacking you are and unworthy to be in the presence of God.
You fall down and God picks you up again. It is a growing process with God. You are saved by the grace of God and not by your works. There is no self merit in the eyes of God.
God is merciful and understands the fallacy of man. Your faith in God will bring His purity and righteousness into your life. Faith comes by seeking God out for all your needs and being obedient to the voice of God.
You can never change yourself into a godly person but God can transform you into a new person in Christ Jesus.
It just requires a willing heart and desire to follow God.
