- How then can man be in the right before God? How can he who is born of woman be pure? Behold, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not pure in his eyes; how much less man, who is a maggot, and the son of man, who is a worm! Job 25:4-6 – Jesus. That’s how man can become pure and right before God. For God did not consider us maggots and worms but precious creations of His that He longed to call His children. Jesus came and died so we could be right before God. Know it’s only through Jesus that we can be right before God. Your best of actions and faithfulness won’t earn you any righteousness before God which is why Jesus was so necessary for us to be with God. So this Christmas season when you think of pure little baby Jesus, know His purity bought you your own purity. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 1477
- How then can man be in the right before God? How can he who is born of woman be pure? Behold, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not pure in his eyes; how much less man, who is a maggot, and the son of man, who is a worm! Job 25:4-6 – The answer? Only through Jesus. Bildad, while a little disgusting in his explanation, isn’t wrong in his understanding. Man outside of God is not clean or holy. There is no way for a man to be right or become right in God’s eyes on their own. In order for any person to be right in God’s eyes, we need someone to come and make us right in God’s eyes. That someone is Jesus, and Jesus alone. No faithful act on our part can make us holy. No preacher or parent can make someone right with God. Only Jesus, through His sacrificial death and His glorious resurrection, can make someone holy and right with God. Have you then been seeking your holiness with God through something/someone else other than Jesus? Has doing good works been your path to holiness? Has relying on the prayers and life of someone else been your path to righteousness? If so, acknowledge those paths only lead to death, and only through Jesus can you find life.
