HOW CAN A MAN BE JUST WITH GOD?

Job_9:2.

1. This is a Common Question. It is being asked in every age, and belongs to every creature.

2. It is an Important Question. Man’s eternal destiny is connected with it..

3. It is a Difficult Question. No man, by mere human wisdom, can answer it. It is difficult (1) because of the character of God-holy, righteous, just; (2) because of the character of man-sinful, guilty, helpless.

4. It is a Question Men Try to Answer. They say- (1) God is merciful. (2) Man is not so very bad. (3) All will come right in the end.

5. It is a Question God alone can Answer. (1) It is not of works (Rom_3:20). (2) It is by grace (Rom_3:24). (3) It is through the blood of Christ (Rom_5:9). (4) It is by faith (Rom_4:5).
