WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
Isaiah 64:6
All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
LEADER TAKEAWAY
Sincerity does not remove the problem of sin. Even our best efforts cannot make us righteous before a holy God, which is why we need a Savior rather than simply greater religious effort.
TRY SAYING
“Sincerity is important, but Scripture says even our best efforts can’t solve the problem of sin. What if getting right with God depends less on how hard we try and more on what God has done for us?”
