#soap # Job 25 ## Title: Is Anyone Really Innocent? ## Scripture: (Job 25:4) “How then can a human being be righteous before God? How can one born of a woman be pure?” (NET) ## Observation: There is something amazing and devastating at the same time: the lack of our innocence. I once heard two people debating over the problem of evil. One person said that if God was good, He would remove all evil from the world. The other person said, “That sounds great. Who should He start with, me or you?” The reality is, the Bible says none are righteous. It’s not about whether or not someone is a good person. Even good people are not perfect people. If there is even one sin in your life, you are guilty. That’s the bad news. Here’s the good news. God loves us. He loves us so much that He personally made a way of salvation for us. He came to Earth Himself and provided a way for salvation. How amazing! What’s even better is that we can’t earn it. It is freedom given to those who will receive it and give their lives to Him. ## Application: Accept and celebrate the free gift of salvation. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for loving us more than we will ever imagine.
