Where do I put my hope?

Do I put it in the idea that I’m “good”?

Matt Candler puts it this way, “The scary part of the Bible is not that God judges our wickedness, it’s that He sees our righteousness as filthy rags.  Compared to the holiness of God, it’s your goodness that falls short.  Not just your wickedness that condemns you.  It’s your goodness. See why you need the Cross so badly?  See why Jesus had better have paid the bill?  Because all your righteous acts are filthy before Him!”
