Righteousness

It's funny how society today has separated the good from the bad, the liberal from conservative, the rich from the poor.  We are all human and have failed at recognizing the thread of our commonality.  We were born I to a sinful world as sinful people.  This is what the devotional from Billy touches on today.  Only one man has ever been righteous enough to be in the presence of God, Jesus.  I was listening to Greg Laurie who spoke about how there are good people in the world, ones who believe they are truly good and will go to heaven.  However, the word of God contradict that thought.  

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. (Isaiah 64:6 NIV)
