That's A Good Question

"Indeed, I know that this is true.
But how can a mortal be righteous before God?

Job 9:2(NIV)

Job, even though he thought himself to be without sin, poses a good question in his second defense. He realizes God's righteousness and man's sinfulness. He goes on later to wish their was an arbiter, recognizing his need for a savior. I am thankful that I have come to that same conclusion. I am a sinner and cannot on my own be righteous before God. But God sent His Son to die on the cross for my sin and to be that arbiter between God and me. I am thankful that Jesus' righteousness has been imputed to me. I am thankful for my need for a savior and that need has already been met in Jesus!
