Joh 1:29 ..."Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
And yet, man in his pride says: "Behold! My good character, my good works and my religious deeds which take away the sin of my world!"
If you are looking at yourself and what you are doing in order for you to be saved then you are looking in the wrong direction. Salvation is not to be found in self. Salvation is found in the Savior, who sacrificed Himself for our sins.
"Look to Me, and be saved..." Isa 45:22
To whom or to what are you looking in order to be saved? What is it in your case? Is it "Behold! My goodness that takes away the sin of my world? or is it "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of my world?"
