Our righteousness are as filthy rags (Isaiah 64: 6).
We as humans live according to the dictates of our hearts and we know that the heart is full of evil imaginations, if not guided by the Holy Spirit.
Ezekiel 33:13 says that when God says to the righteous that He shall surely live if the righteous trust in His righteousness and commit iniquity, all His righteousness shall not be remembered. But for His iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.
In such cases, many people who say and think they are good and struggle to still walk in the way of God; If not careful and diligent in theirchristian lives, they will either make mistakes or fall through the Spirit of pride.
That's why one must examine his Christian life always whether he is still in the faith or not (2 Corinthians 13:5). Proverbs 20:9 says; “who can say I have made my heart clean I am pure from my sin”. The Bible says that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God because of our depraved nature. Sin dwells in the flesh, that is our body.
The world is full of various kind of pleasures. Peoople love the things of this world and are carried away by the lust of the eye, lust of the flesh, the desire of this life and the pride of life (1 John 2 :15-17). The mind of man is always at war with the Spirit of God because man is so weak in his heart to uphold the law of God without the help of the Holy Spirit.
Man cannot live a life of Christ without the Holy Spirit. To live a life of true righteousness of God, the Spirit of God will have be your helper. Christ says this in the scripture( Matthew 19:26)He says....“with man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible”, so to be holy is to have Christ in one's life i.e to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Galatians 3:22) but the scripture has concluded all under sin and only by having faith in Christ Jesus that one can be saved (Psalms 53:3).
(1 Jn 1:8) says...“if we say that we have not sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us, we are the seed of Adam the first man and by nature, we partake of his sinful nature..” so to be saved from our depraved naturez we need to be born-again in Christ by denouncing the world and the evil one and have self control.
Conclusion
Thanks for reading this message.
I pray the Lord God put it in your heart to meditate on His word constantly, gives you the confidence to denounce the things of this world and offer your self wholely to Him.
It's a the TRUTH that all of us inhabitants of the planet Earth are descendants of Adam & Eve and for that reason, we're born with sin and struggle with sin every day of our lives. The only way out according to Sister Eunice, by leaving right. So help us Oh God of creation.
