Compared to God we are all wicked. Imagine the sweetest grandma, or the most innocent newborn baby, they don’t even compare. God is so pure, that even this grandma or newborn couldn’t be in His presence because of our sin nature. Like a dry leaf that gets too close to an open flame, poof! But yet He made a way for us to experience Him relationally, allowing us to get close (from a distance). It’s called Grace, unmerited favor. It’s the great equalizer in our universe. It’s what gives us the ability to love and be loved. Job understood this. Do you? Just one more reason for gratitude towards Him, right?
20 Though I am innocent, my own mouth would pronounce me guilty. Though I am blameless, it would prove me wicked.
Job 9:20
