In Haggai 2:10-19, God once again speaks through Haggai to His people.  He asks the priests if something that is holy can make the unholy "holy".  The priests say, "No."  Then, He asks if something unholy can make something holy "unholy".  They say, "Yes."  This is God's way of showing them that when they turn away from Him they become unholy.  If they turn to Him, they will be blessed.  It is also His way of making a point.  Sin is contagious.  Unrighteous people can destroy the righteous people.  Just because someone close to you remains righteous, you cannot receive salvation through their righteousness.  Salvation is not inherited.  It must be individually earned through a personal relationship with God.  He will answer your prayer for your own salvation and a request to be closer to Him.  You must be the salt and light of the world, setting a good example for others.  Remember . . . Look up! when you are discouraged, and Look in! to see yourself as you really are. Consider your ways!
