"Therefore by the deeds of the law
no
flesh will be justified in his sight,
for
by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Romans
3:20
All have sinned. That includes Mother Theresa, Billy
Graham, and you and me. It includes Mary the mother of Jesus, for she
confessed God as her SAVIOR,
thus acknowledging that she is like all of us - in need of a
Savior.
"My soul magnifies the Lord,
and
my spirit has rejoiced in God my SAVIOR."
Luke
1:47
Goodness will not save any human being. Anyone who seeks
to be saved by good works and following the law must remember this:
if you break ANY of the law, you've broken it all.
"For
whoever shall keep the whole law,
and
yet stumble IN ONE POINT, he is guilty of all."
James
2:10
It's like a glass. If you break a glass, you've broken
the whole thing. It doesn't matter which part of the glass is still
there, or which part is more broken than other parts, the glass is
broken and once broken, there is no hope of fixing it.
"Therefore
by the deeds of the law NO flesh will be justified..."
Romans
3:20
We are all sinners, and there is ONLY ONE remedy - the
atonement made for us by Jesus Christ. He took upon himself the
judgment on ALL our sin. He bore the judgment on every horrific sin
you've ever committed, as well as for every "little white lie"
you've told. So if the judgment on your sin has already been borne,
then you are free - if you're in him. By faith in him, and in him
ALONE, are we saved.
"ALL we like sheep have gone
astray;
We have turned, every one, to
his own way;
and the Lord HAS LAID ON
HIM (Jesus) the iniquity of us all."
Isaiah
53:6
