The fact that I am trying to be right with God is actually a sign that I am rebelling against the atonement by the Cross of Christ.
I pray, “Lord, I will purify my heart if You will answer my prayer— I will walk rightly before You if You will help me.”
But I cannot make myself right with God; I cannot make my life perfect. I can only be right with God if I accept the atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ as an absolute gift.
Am I humble enough to accept it? I have to surrender all my rights and demands, and cease from every self-effort. I must leave myself completely alone in His hands.
Oswald Chambers
