Many foolishly attempt to make themselves acceptable to God by their works. In Rom. 10:1-3, Paul says, I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge (Bible truth). For they …going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God (the sacrifice of Jesus on Calvary). Trying to work your way to heaven is an insult to God. Illus: Tuxedo on hog. Jesus said, Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not …in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (Matt 7:22-3). Sadly they were trusting in their own goodness and works instead of the sacrifice of Jesus for our sins.
