Do you think that you’re better than other people? Do I? Paul the Apostle has a message for us today. It’s in Romans chapter 3 verse 23. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
We know that God is glorious. We know that God is holy and he asks us to be holy like he is. Which can only happen because he fills us with his Spirit.
But we all sin, and we all fall short of His glory. I mean, it’s not possible for us to be as glorious or as perfect as God is. And Paul reminds us, therefore, that we shouldn’t get above ourselves. That we shouldn’t be looking around at others thinking, they’ve sinned in that way, so I’m better than them.
Because no, my friend, you’ve sinned too, and so have I. We are all so far short of the standard that God sets just by his existence, that there’s really no comparison between us. We’re like all down here on a spectrum of bad to good, and God’s way off the charts. And so the difference between us can’t really be measured.
