When We Truly Realize
And
Fully Accept That All That We Personally Call Our Righteousness
Is
As Filthy Rags To Our Maker
We Will Give The Eternal God His Glory
- Which He Will Not Share With Another -
And
Resolutely Praise Him Who ... Alone
Is
Righteous
According To The Living God's Own Righteousness!
Beloved,
The Self-Righteous Person
Cannot Stand Before The Lord Christ In The Judgment
To Plead His Own Cause!
Self Is A Sinner
And
Sinners Without Christ Covering Their Confessed
And
Repented Of Sin
Die In The Presence Of The Holy God!
Let's Get Real!
Let's Get Practical!
We Are Clean Before The Lord
When We Take The Lord As Shelter
Savior
Shepherd
And
Sanctifier!
If We Are Not Wise Enough To Be Humble
It Is Sure Enough That
Anything That We Present Before Almighty God
Is
A Dud, Dirty
Distinctly Defiling
Decidedly Dangerous
And
Definitely Damning!
We Are Required To Humble Ourselves
Under The Mighty Hand Of God
And
When We Do This With A Contrite Heart
- Sorrowing Over Sin -
We Will Honor Our Maker
According To How He Determines That
We Should Come Before His Holy Presence!
Please Don't Be Bold, Brazen
To Present Bitter Fruit To The Lord Of Love
Who Has Shown
And
Is Daily Showing Us
How We May Be Blessed And Saved!
Do Right
Because
"Thus Saith The Lord!"
Obedience Pays!
Peace With Almighty God
Is
Perfectly Precious!

Righteousness Exacts A Nation!
