“The sad truth of their situation was that their righteousness was actually a form of unrighteousness! What appeared to be a pursuit of God on the surface was actually just a personal pursuit.

Yet, God, in His grace….”

I woke up to turn off my alarm this morning (again) and looked on substack and your post popped up.

Your quote above I copy pasted here really made me step back in just be like wow…

this is powerfully convicting and then ends with what I love the most…

“YET God in His GRACE…”

Nailed it. Thanks for this post.
