Job chapter 15, verse 14.

What is man that he can be pure?

Are he who is born of a woman that he can be righteous?

Now, this is counsel coming from Eliphaz.

And again, he's making accusations against Job about his sinfulness and his lack of fear of

God and he's missing the whole point of what God is doing in Job's suffering but even still

he's saying something that's true.

Like, there's no person who can be pure in and of themselves or is pure, ultimately,

in and of themselves, righteous.

This is Romans chapter 3.

There is none righteous, not one.

Think about it.

Seven billion people in the world today.

Not one of them, righteous or pure.

All of them, all of us, sinners, before a holy God, which means all of us need a Savior.

All of us need one who is pure.

We need one who is righteous.

And the good news of the Bible is that there is one man, one in all of history.

No one like him without sin.

Pure, righteous before God.

Jesus stands alone.
