Make an attempt to reach something impossible. Try harder. Do your best. Try some more. You mean you cannot do your best to get the job done? “God’s standards are just too high,” you say. “I tried. But no, it was not to be!” God says, “Meet Me where my standards are,” but hey, “These standards are too high and the slope is too steep,” you say.
All of the times in history that man was able to attain God’s standards, they had to be helped. Actually, they had to be made into the righteousness of God. This making is a revelation of God’s heart. God is gracious and kind and this nature of His has been weaved into the designed product called God’s righteousness. People can not attain it, they will have to be given this status for free. Free, but not cheap, because it came at the price of the ONE- Jesus.
Try harder? No! We have been made the very thing that we could not be on our own. Made? Yes. We were born so, at the new birth. We came out of the womb of God’s holy redemption, smelling of righteousness, like the field the Lord has blessed.
