“Yes, I know what you’ve said is true, but how can a person be justified before God? If one wanted to take him to court, he could not answer God once in a thousand times. God is wise and all-powerful. Who has opposed him and come out unharmed?”
Job 9:2-4 CSB
Jobs’ question is one we all must deal with- “but how can a person be justified before God?”
The answer is - no one! Only Jesus payment for our sins can justify us before God. All of our own attempts are just waisted energy and frustrations. No matter how great we are at being good, we still fall infinitely short of justification. Our efforts are meaningless.
Lord, thank You for sending Jesus so that I can have a restored relationship with You! Help me to rest in Jesus work alone. Allow me strength to surrender in every area of life so that the Spirit would continue to conform me to Your image!
