---“Those who
are indeed purifying their souls by obeying the truth will have a most humble
opinion of themselves. The more closely they view the spotless character of
Christ, the stronger will be their desire to be conformed to His image, and the
less will they see of purity or holiness in themselves. But while we should
realize our sinful condition, we are to rely upon Christ as our righteousness,
our sanctification, and our redemption. We cannot answer the charges of Satan
against us. Christ alone can make an effectual plea in our behalf. He is able
to silence the accuser with arguments founded not upon our merits, but on His
own.”—Testimonies for the Church,
vol. 5, pp. 471, 472.
---How can
one reads this and say holiness is important?
---Because
Christ says here in Ephesians 2:8-9 that it is all grace and in Ephesians 2:10
good works is the goal.
---But, as
good works will be there, Christ does not want us to boast but be humble about
our condition. Claim sinless? No. Holy Spirit will. Is it possible? Bible says
yes.
---In Psalms
it says that justice and mercy kiss each other. Why? Because God is 100% just
and expects perfection of character and 100% obedience to His law and precepts.
God is also 100% merciful and cannot resist in His agape love the human cry.
---Tears is a
language that Jesus understands.
---So
humanity can freely run to God and God will run all the way to get you and
forgiveness is all the way and help is given for your new surprising way of
life that for you will be your “good works”.
---Good
works? Do not imitate others. Your good works are yours and others' good works are theirs. Different. Why? Genetic variety. Different defects and different errors
to overcome. So follow Jesus, the Bible, prayer and your specific things. Right?
