Morning and Evening October 27

"The best thing we ever did apart from the merit of Jesus only swelled the number of our sins;
for when we have been most pure in our own sight, yet,
like the heavens, we are not pure in God's sight"
"Every night we look in the glass we see a sinner, and had need confess, "We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags." Oh, how precious the blood of Christ to such hearts as ours! How priceless a gift is His perfect righteousness! And how bright the hope of perfect holiness hereafter!"
for when we have been most pure in our own sight, yet,
like the heavens, we are not pure in God's sight"
The best things we have ever done in this life without the enabling of the Holy Spirit and in the merit of Christ's righteousness is still as filthy rags in the sight of God. The depth of our depravity is so great that we are unable to please God apart from Christ. As I read this evening's devotion, I could not help but find myself thankful for such a great salvation. As we go to bed tonight, may we think as Spurgeon encourages us to think in this devotion, as seen below:
"Every night we look in the glass we see a sinner, and had need confess, "We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags." Oh, how precious the blood of Christ to such hearts as ours! How priceless a gift is His perfect righteousness! And how bright the hope of perfect holiness hereafter!"
