A righteous man or woman, recognizes his need for forgiveness. Notice I am not saying a self righteous person. A righteous man also understands the need for a savior.

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17-21‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

We cannot deny our sin nature, as the false teachers did and do. We all fall short, yet by Jesus tremendous sacrifice on the cross, we are cleansed and walk in the light. To all those, who put their trust and faith in Jesus. He alone grants us the pathway to life.

I love this as it applies to a marriage of a husband and wife. This is Gods design for marriage. It is for a man and a woman. Certainly, it can be used in other applications as in friendships, work, roommates, and play that is not specific to gender. Specifically, God designed us to accomplish things together, but definitely for his Glory, not our personal gratification.

This is not saying that fools show wisdom in their silence, but that silence conceals their folly. It does show that foolishness is bound up in the heart of mankind, and that we should use discretion when we open our mouths. This was a difficult one to think through. Any thoughts or comments are welcome.

Our deliverance comes from the Lord! He does this in many ways, but he is the one who deserves all praise.
