“They were a good person.” You hear this a lot, but is it a true statement? By worldly standards a person may do good for others…but when compared to the ultimate standard of God’s absolute holiness, goodness, and purity, all our good works are like filthy rags before Him. (Isaiah 64:6) David shows us here that a person may be highly intelligent by the world’s standards and still considered a fool by God’s standards when they deny the existence & have no desire to honor or follow Him. Paul, in Romans 3, points out that there is no one righteous, not even one…stressing mankind’s sinfulness, depravity, and condemnation by a holy God. For we are all made in His image but have exchanged His glory for ours. Or as Psalm 10:4 says, “In his pride the wicked doesn’t seek Him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.”
