God's Perfection Humbles
I was reading Mr. Standfast's blog today, and a thought came to mind when I read his post:
When we become apart of God's family, we are cleansed from our sin, and are given the Holy Spirit to help us obey God. Because of our new found righteousness, it is so easy to compare our "holiness" with the pagans. Instead of the humble heart that Jesus wants, we become proud and conceited.
However, when we look at the perfect righteousness and holiness of God, we are forced to realize that we are sinners. That we are imperfect and need a Savior daily. God's perfection humbles us.
