G-d's calendar: 15th day, 12th month, year 5771

Isaiah 64:6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of G-d;

Have you sinned? According to G-d's Word, by definition the answer should be, "yes." Have you ever tried to clear up the sin yourself? Have you chosen the course of action to be taken regarding the remedy for sin? Or have you simply rationalized it and justified it, rather than attempt to make amends? G-d's Word also call that sin. G-d is gloriously perfect, anything less than perfection is unacceptable. And HE sees our acts of self righteousness in the same way you might look at the "oil rags" in the garage. They aren't even fit to be washed with anything of value. Most of us don't even want them in the washing machine . . .
