There is a very potent question and answer found in today's Bible Reading Plan! Job 14:4:
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one!
CAN an unclean thing be made into a clean thing? First we need to establish just WHO is unclean! Look at Romans 3:10-12:
10 As it is written, None is righteous, just and truthful and upright and conscientious, no, not one. [Ps 14:3.] 11 No one understands [no one intelligently discerns or comprehends]; no one seeks out God. [Ps 14:2.] 12 All have turned aside; together they have gone wrong and have become unprofitable and worthless; no one does right, not even one! AMP
Now look at Romans 3:23:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; KJV
If ALL have sinned and none are righteous in the eyes of God, what hope is there? Every person ever born has the sin nature of Adam. Can an unclean thing be made clean? Job said NO! I'm glad that Job was only partially correct! No ordinary human being could do this! It took a Man born without the sin nature of Adam, Jesus of Nazareth, Who's mother was a human mother and Who's Father was GOD! He was/is 100% God and 100% man at the very same time! Everything He did on the earth, He did as a sinless man, NOT as God! He freely gave His life on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all mankind! He defeated death and hell and made eternal salvation available to every person! The only thing that will ever keep a person from Heaven as their home when they leave this earth is if they would reject this wonderful and free gift of God! Can a clean thing be brought out of an unclean? YES! It has already been done! All that is left is for YOU, if you haven't already, to receive Jesus of Nazareth as Lord and personal Savior! If you haven't yet done so, please click on The Spoken Word Church link to the left and find out how! If you have, then PLEASE be shouting this great Good News from the housetops, and every other available avenue! HE LIVES and so can YOU! Amen! Here is an encouragement for you to do so!
