“Christ
wants you to believe in him who justifies the ungodly; he does not
require you to be godly before you believe (Romans 4:5). Jesus came as a
Physician for the sick. He does not expect them to recover their health
before they come to him (Matthew 9:12). The vilest sinners are properly
qualified and prepared for the gospel’s design, which is to show forth
the exceeding riches of grace when God pardons their sins and saves them
freely (Ephesians 2:5-7)…
The
real insult to Christ is when you condemn the fullness of his grace and
merit by trying to make yourself righteous and holy before you receive
him! You condemn the justice and holiness of God when you try to improve
yourself before you receive the righteousness and holiness that can
only come through faith in Christ.”

Amen! How often Christians are guilty of this. We recognize that we cannot earn our salvation. Yet somehow after we are saved we begin to think that we can earn the approval and grace of God through our self-righteousness. Praise our LORD and savior Jesus Christ that there is NO condemnation for those who have believed. :)
