God bless my friends of steemit.

All man's ways are clean in his own opinion, but it is the Lord who weighs the spirits. "

If you have been in contact with people who are lost and have told you about their salvation, or if you have been a preacher or a teacher, you know that, if they believe in God, the answer that one receives most of the time is: "I do not need to be saved, I am well, I am willing to present myself before God, I am an honest person". If those people do not believe in God, you will receive a variety of answers.

There are even many Christians who believe that their behavior is perfect before God. This whole matter is condensed in the First Letter of the Apostle John, chapter 1, verse 7, where it says: But if we walk in light, as he is in light, we have communion with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ, his son, we clean of all sin. We have to hold the mirror of the Word of God and look at ourselves in it; and will reveal things that are not very good, and that we are not up to God's standards. Perhaps you can live up to the requirements of various human organizations, or at the level of what the church, your friends, your neighbors expect from you and even consider you a very good person. But, dear friend, when you see yourself in the light of the Word of God, then you will see that you have a need, and that there are certain spots in your life. You can verify that it does not reach the glory of God. You may look clean according to your own opinion, but it is not like that before the eyes of God. It says 1 John 1: 6, if we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth: And the apostle John was addressing the believers. We believe that there are many people who are sitting comfortably on a bench in the Church today, that when they hear any indication of the Word of God, they think that it is addressed to others, even to specific people, because they themselves have nothing to correct in your own behavior And they even dare to take God's place by judging other Christians.

So the human way of thinking makes everyone think what he does good, to each one he thinks his behavior is correct. But the Lord considers the spirit of the person. God examines the individual. Have you seen any scales that despite spirits? Well, the word of God fulfills that function. It is a mirror. And it is also a set of scales that will weigh you down, and tell you that you can not meet the requirements that God requires, that is not up to them.

There are some who, when we study the letter to the Galatians, perhaps interpreted that the Mosaic Law was not good for today, that it was inoperative. But what we said was that the law could not save. The law is good; Pablo said it was good. It is a mirror. It reveals to you that you are far from the glorious presence of God. Dear listener, if you look at the Law of God and still believe that you are up to what it requires, then you have not yet seen the Law. And you do not really know what the Law says. The Law requires perfection, and you and I can not produce it. Therefore, we need a Savior. This is what the Law does; He is a teacher who leads us to Christ. He takes you by the hand and takes him to the cross and says: "Friend, what you need is a Savior". The law is good, but it will not save you. If you take the position written here in Proverbs, that all man's ways are clean in his own opinion, "even before the Word of God before you, then we must tell you, dear Listener, there is no worse blind than the one who does not want to see, Because you have to remember that the Lord evaluates the spirit, the spiritual part.
