“For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.” The children of Israel are not the only people who have ever attempted to establish their own standard of righteousness. This seems to be a common human dilemma. Men, in their sin, desire a god made in their own image. When we have convinced ourselves that our standard is sufficient to save us, the last thing we want to hear is God’s word. It reveals our sinfulness and points us to a source of redemption outside ourselves. The free gift of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ does not appeal to selfish, human desire. It is the word of God, through the power of the Holy Spirit that convicts us of the sin from which our selfishness stems, and causes us to submit ourselves to God through faith in His son. If you are making an attempt at establishing a righteousness sufficient to keep you from Hell and bring you to God, your efforts are doomed, like the children of Israel, to failure. Humble and sincere belief in Jesus Christ is your only hope. Come to Him today.
