Bible Note: Dear GospelMann, Thank you for making this point. You are correct that God has not commanded these things because one human being is superior to another. We are all equally inadequate and impotent before our Holy God. Indeed, the cost of our salvation is not because we are worth so much, but because His righteousness is so great (cf Romans 1 through 3). Isn't it amazing that in the light of all this, we still have such pride? (Proverbs 15:16; 16:19) Thank you for reminding us of the incredible worth of our Lord! In Him, Doc |
