Turn aside from self-righteousness..

Turn aside from self-righteousness..

He does not answer when men cry out because of the arrogance of the wicked. Indeed, God does not listen to their empty plea; the Almighty pays no attention to it.

Job 35:12,13 NIV

Proverbs 26:12 KJV

_________________

For all of us have become
like one who is unclean,
And all our righteous deeds
are like a filthy garment;

And all of us wither like a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

There is no one who calls on Your name,
Who arouses himself to take hold of You;

For You have hidden Your face from us
And have delivered us into the
power of our iniquities.

Isaiah 64:6,7 NASB

Thanks be unto God for his amazing gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten
Son of God is the object of our faith;
the only faith that saves is faith in Him.


Love is patient and kind;
love does not envy or boast;
it is not arrogant or rude.

It does not insist on its own way;
it is not irritable or resentful;
It does not rejoice at wrongdoing,
but rejoices with the truth.

Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends.

As for prophecies, they will pass away;
as for tongues, they will cease;
as for knowledge, it will pass away.

So now faith, hope, and love abide,
these three; but the greatest of these
is love.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8; 13 ESV
