Irrelevant (Isaiah 64 v 6 )

Are you very religious?,go to local mosque,temple,church,you seek to keep  the laws of your religion  ?.I knew a Muslim lady who prayed the prescribed 5 times every day,and kept to the time table.She was a nice lady, often wanted to feed me,there many are nice Muslin's ,Hindu's.Jew's ,and one the nicest person's I knew was an agnostic.During this time many people are doing many nice things,nurses ,neighbors , and even strangers..Yet the Word of God tells us that we are all sinners and come short of the glory of God ( Romans 3 v 23 ) H. Moule writes,'The harlot, the liar,the murderer.are short of it;but so are you.Perhaps they stand at the bottom of a mine, and you on the crest of an Alp; but you are as little able to touch the stars as they'. That's a challenged to all of us especially if we are religious,and seek to keep the rules and laws of our religion,we are proud  of our religious observance ,and law keeping. But the fact is religious rule keeping,law keeping,avail us ,no standing before a holy God,none of these things can remove sin,or deal with sin. Our boasting in those things is of no value,the sin still remains,and the consequences still remain.As someone has said,'pride in all these things is the besetting sin of all religious people,no matter what their religion'. We will continue to look at this tomorrow
