I don’t care how strong your religion is, or how strong your church life is, I don’t care how strong your morality is. On that day of judgment God will tear it down and it will wilt. Whenever humans declare themselves to be righteous they are doing it by contrasting themselves with other humans who are worse. And you can get away with that, but when your righteousness is contrasted with the righteousness of God there is nothing but to throw yourself down and declare your morality to be dung.
– Paul Washer
That is the truth! It’s too bad that we don’t realize that like we should! It’s so easy to compare ourselves with others and forget that we should be comparing ourselves with the righteousness with God. There would be less hypocrisy within the church and more repentance over our sin!
