Job 25 “Bildad: How Can A Man Be Righteous Before God”

“How then can man be righteous before God? Or how can he be pure who is born of a woman?” (v.4)

Here we find the question of the ages. The simple answer to Bildad’s questions is, not in our own righteousness (good deeds or keeping the Law), but in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.

Many believe that if they do good works, or keep the law, they will stand righteous before God, not so. The law brings only the knowledge of sin, and no man can keep it. Good works are simply that and cannot buy our righteousness before God. 

We are justified freely by God's grace through the redemption that is in His Son Christ Jesus, whom God set forth to be a propitiation for our sin. There is one condition though, faith. We must believe in Him who gave His life for us. Then through faith in the Son, in His righteousness we can stand before God.

No greater love! Happy Valentine's Day.

The Truth: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
