Proverbs 30:12
There is a
generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their
filthiness.
Our heart
is deceitfully wicked and we must understand our assessment of ourselves is not
to be trusted. We live in a society that
decides what is right by their own understanding and desires. People think they are clean but in fact are
quite dirty. When we talk to such people
we must realize that they are carrying around the stench of their sin and we
know that it is the blood of Jesus that can wash them white as snow. The blessing of a clean conscience is
something those who are yet dead in their sins do not know. The weight of guilt is something they have
never been relieved of. We can tell them
what Christ has done on their behalf.
They can enjoy the cleansing and forgiving. When we see others we should know that
regardless of whether they think they are clean, they are not. We can pray for that Hollywood star. We can write a letter to that politician or
to that professor letting them know what their Maker has done for them. Don’t be surprised at how people will say
that they are clean when the truth is they are in the miry clay of human sin
and consequences.
