Isaiah 64:6
New International Version (NIV)
6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,
and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
I was recently talking to someone who holds the idea that all good people go to heaven. This verse clearly blows that belief out of the water. And when we ourselves get to feeling smug about our salvation we need to return to verses like these and remember that it is only by grace are we saved. I was going to go with the whole salvation series of verses and present the full abbreviated gospel message, but this is the starting point in that series. We ALL are sinners. We ALL can be saved by the grace of God. "Are You Washed In The Blood?"
