Ezekiel 33:12: Your Righteousness Will Not Exalt You – Only His Will

Ez 33:12 Therefore, you son of man, say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sins.— The key here is to repent, to turn, to move away from & to choose His righteousness! To let Jesus change us, is key to real life! — Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, & hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, & one who sows discord among brothers. Rom 3:23 For all have sinned & fall short of the glory of God. Romans 5:8 But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us! — Remember it is what He DID  that saves us! Love Mel
