Woe Is Me
So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of host.” Isaiah 6:5
The words, “Woe is me, for I am undone”, it is Christ who makes us right with God restoring us back to the fold and the only way to be right is to believe and tap into Him through faith. God cannot begin to do His good work with you until you realize how far sin has taken you from this rightful relationship. Of course it makes sense! The word righteousness means to be in good standing with God. And knowing what we know about Christ Jesus, man can only be made right with God through the Cross, but not on his own terms or in his own power, but all through the blood.
We cannot do this thing called transformation on our own, we need God’s grace. And the way to tap into God’s grace is through faith. It is not what you do, instead what you believe that will matter in the end. It is your faith that puts you in right standing with God.
The fallen condition of man is dismal. Then suddenly a light shines. Hope revives. This light, this ray of hope, does not come from within man but from God through Christ Jesus. Christ died in our place, for our sins. Christ stood in our place, paid the penalty of death for our sin, and He completely satisfied God’s demands. His sacrifice brings pardon, deliverance, and freedom.
The question remains will you rely on His grace, or your goodness. The choice is yours.
