You Are

"You Are"

Scripture Reading:
Romans 3:10  as it is written:  There is no one righteous, not even one

Devotional Reading:

It is relatively easy for us to recognize sin in one another. It is much more difficult to recognize it in ourselves. But “none of us is righteous,” Paul tells us, “not even one.” We tend to think of ourselves as the exception, but when it comes to sin, there are no exceptions. Until we understand the holiness of God, however, it is almost impossible for us to see clearly our own sin. Years ago, the London Times ran an article encouraging its readers to respond to the question, “What is wrong with the world?” I am sure the editor must have read the following reply more than once before its profound truth sunk in: Dear Sir: In response to your question, “What is wrong with the world?” I am. Yours Truly, G.K Chesterton. We are what is wrong with the world! God’s standard is absolutely righteousness, and when we begin to see His holiness, we understand our own impossible shortfall. No matter how skilled we may be at hiding our sins, we cannot make them disappear. Only God is able to save us, and His opinion of us – His assessment of our hearts – is the only one that matters.  Are you looking for that perfect church, well, when you find it, don't join or it will not be the perfect church any longer!
