Micah 6:6
"With what shall I come before the Lord,
and bow myself before the High God?"
Deep conviction of guilt and wrath will put men upon careful inquires after peace and pardon, and then there begins to be some ground for hope. In order for God to be pleased with us, our care must be for the atonement of Christ, and that the sin by which we displease Him be taken away.
What will be a satisfaction to God's justice? In whose name must we come, for we have nothing to plea on our own? In what righteous shall we appear before God?
We can not answer this question of Divine justice, nor satisfy the wrong done to the honor of our Lord by sin. Men will part with a lot of things so that they might be in standings with God; However this will not be accepted of God, unless they part with their sins. Moral duties are commanded because they are good for all mankind. For in keeping God's commandments there is a great reward.
God has made it plain! The good which He requires of us is not the paying for the pardon price of sin. God wants full acceptance of Him and our love toward Him in all things. How hard is this to do? Every thought within us must be brought down, to be in obedience to God. If we walk comfortably with Him, we must do this as redeemed sinners, in dependance of the Redeemer and His Atonement. Blessed be the Lord, that He is always ready to give His grace to be humble, waiting for sinners to repent.
Amen!!
