'The greatest enemy to human souls—I think I am not wrong in saying this—is
the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.'
~Charles Spurgeon
And how subtle this enemy can be... adding the
heart of true gospel as a 'tag on' to their own filthy
works. Yes... human righteousness is as filthy rags.
What an honor, that our Lord Jesus wraps the
true believer in His righteousness.
In the sacrificial system of the OT, the sinners sin
offering was as good as the sacrifice. If it was
blemished in any way, it was not acceptable before
God. Jesus~ a spotless sacrifice~ was accepted by
God~ providing atonement!
We live by the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.
There is nothing in life that comes remotely close to
the joy of knowing and believing the love of God!
