“But we are all like an unclean thing, and all of our righteousnesses are like filthy rags.” Isaiah 64:6
Now read it again.
Do the words have meaning, or are they just words?
“But we are all like an unclean thing, and all of our righteousnesses are like filthy rags.”
Indeed! But then, born again believers ARE the righteousness of God in Christ.
I have a hard time believing there was one worse than me. I am 180 degrees from where I was, having fully trusted in Christ. I no longer seek validation from the world, nor anyone else in the world.
I am validated by the shed blood of Christ making satisfaction on my behalf, and where he is, there I shall be also.
