John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
The Bible presents self-righteousness as a dangerous, prideful reliance on one’s own efforts rather than God’s grace. Although any serious Christian would recognize the error of this thought, because of our sin nature, it is a constant temptation to all of us to believe we are, or can be, righteous in and of ourselves. In the New Testament, Jesus and the apostle Paul came down particularly hard on those who attempted to live in self-righteousness. Even his friends ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes (Job 32:1). Many thousands of people have been badly taught about the condition they were in before their conversion. We were spiritually dead, unable to receive from the Spirit, and unable to submit to God or please God. We did not have the power to change our wills, our hearts, our minds, or our affections. We were bent entirely away from God. How then did we receive the Holy Spirit? It was a miracle of God’s sovereign grace applied to us in our helplessness. Job’s friend Elihu paints a picture of the human race when his wrath was aroused because Job justified himself rather than God. (Vs 2) He explained to Job that there is a spirit in man, and the inspiration of the Almighty gives him understanding. It is the breath of God that gives us life. (Job 32:8, 33:4) It is the Spirit who gives us life through the sacred words of the scriptures. (John 6:63) Self-righteousness is the most deceptive sin because it prevents the life-giving breath of God from entering our souls. Our Father in heaven is always waiting to give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! (Luke 11:13)
