No Boasting- No Bragging

“But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all that believe: for there is no difference: for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God”

Romans 3:21-23

 

Many often say, “I can’t come to God until I clean myself up” or they say “I can never be good enough to go to heaven, so I am not going to try.”  In my own life I remember asking myself, “Who can ever be good enough to get to heaven?”  The answer is that no one on their own is ever able to get themselves saved and into heaven.  There is something about man and our can do attitude which is a good attitude to have as long as it is not applied to the saving of our souls.

We learn from our verses that only in Christ can anyone be declared righteous. Paul writes, “Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all that believe.”  Too many times people want to brag and boast of their righteousness. It gives off a sickening smell that cannot be missed. Isaiah 64:6 teaches us “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities like the wind, have taken us away.” Paul wrote in regard to the righteousness of any, “Where is boasting then?  It is excluded.  By what law?  Of works?  Nay: but by the law of faith.  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith (emphasis mine) without the deeds of the law” (Romans 3:27-28).  I have met sinners and saints alike who think so highly of themselves that they constantly suffer from altitude sickness. The sinner needs to be saved and the saint will eventually be taught a tough, but loving lesson from God.

No one has a right to brag or boast when it comes to being justified it is made possible only when we place our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that we are declared righteous. No boasting-No bragging- Just praising the God of heaven for His redemptive plan offered to whosoever through the Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to get our heads out of the clouds and our faces on the ground in reverence and thanksgiving for the mercy and grace of God.
