Job 25:4

"How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?'

And here is the question that all men must answer. You must know the answer to this question to show forth your salvation. To not know the answer shows that there is something seriously wrong with your soul and walk with the Lord. How then can man be justified with God? great questions of the Bible; And the answer to this question is that man cannot be justified with God. We come to a place to understand the very nuts and bolts of our salvation. Martin Luther grasped this truth while reading Romans and was set free. Too many religions, demoninations and cults display their own work of being justified with God, but there is only one way. Man can try as much as he wants to be good and do good, but it will never happen. No matter how good they may get they will never be justified with God. Being jsutified with God is found in Christ alone. Yet, men continue to try to do it on their own merits, and ways. Justified is being just before the judge; without offense. Man is always offensive unto the Lord, for we are sinful. 'All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.' We are guilty from the very beginning. So it is imperative that someone else makes us just in His sigh, for He is just in all His ways. And in order to make us just, Christ came and took our sins and bore them on His ownself. dying on the cross bearing our sins, so that the unjust, you and I, might be made just in Him. so that whent he Father looks upon us, He does not see our 'unjustness', He sees Christ's 'justness'. We are made just in Him and nothing else. 'He that believeth on Him is justified from all things'. Brethern it is found in you of what you believe. It is not your merits, works or faith in whatever, it is in Christ and Christ alone. He has paid it all, done it all and will keep it all. Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? great questions of the Bible; born in this world and conceieved in sin man has no chance apart from Christ; David said, 'In my mother's womb I was conceived in sin'. Adam disobeyed and ate of the fruit and sin entered into the world, contaminating the flesh with sin. And every soul born into this world is sinful and vile. Man tries to justifiy themselves but it does not work in the sight of God. We are wretched. And unless a man knows his own wretchedness and lostness he will not see the need for a Savior. He will not enquire nor desire to enquire about being born again, for he sees no fault in his ownself. The truth must be declared is that man is not born in goodness, but brought forth in sin. Just as when a child comes into this world covered with blood and the fluid from the mother's womb, they are unclean in that, born in blood. They must be cleaned off and cleaned up and then we have that sweet, adorable precious child to hold. And so we must be born again. OUt of the flesh, out of sin and washed in the blood of Christ Who cleanses us from all iniquities. Man born into this world cannot be made clean apart from Christ. And when we are dealing with lost men and women this is the heart of it all. ARe they made clean by the blood? Do they know it? Are they living in it? ARe you? 'Out of my bondage, sorrow and night, Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come' 'come unto Me all ye that are weary and heavy laden (with sin) and ye shall find rest in Me'.
