"We
have sinned and done
wrong. We have been
wicked and have rebelled;
we have turned away
from Your commands and
laws. "
(Daniel 9:5)
SPEAK
FOR YOURSELF
Nobody
wants to be told they
have done wrong, no
one wants to hear from
someone else that they
are in their bad books,
yet the listen to what
Scripture says:
- "I
looked for someone
who might rebuild
the wall of righteousness
that guards the land.
I searched for someone
to stand in the gap
in the wall so I wouldn't
have to destroy the
land, but I found
no one." (Ezekiel
22:30)
- "No
one is holy like the
Lord." (1 Samuel
2:2)
- "When
they sin against You
(for there is no one
who does not sin)."
(1 Kings 8:46)
- "Do
not enter into judgment
with Your servant,
for in Your sight
no one is living righteous."
(Psalm 143:2)
- "As
it is written, 'There
is none righteous,
no , not one.'"
(Romains 3:10)
- "For
all have sinned and
fall short of the
glory of God."
(Romains 3:23)
I
think the message is
clear, we can give a
blanket statement that
all have done wrong,
but each person must
speak for themselves
to God, face to face,
one on one....we all
must understand our
sin, repent of our sin,
seek His forgiveness
and receive His mercy
and grace on an individual
basis.
Rejoice
in the Lord Always!
