Image after the Fall

Job 35:7-8 

If you are righteous, what do you give to God,
or what does He receive from your hand?
8 Your wickedness affects only a person like yourself,
and your righteousness only other people.

 

Our old nature what sadness ... there dwells no good in it.

Consider the flesh in its estate ... there is no good in that either.

Not a grain of the good in the old me ... that is hard to accept.

Look at the friends of Job ... they could not get that neither.

 

It is hard to understand ... we were made in God’s image

and after we were formed … God called it good.

But then came "the Fall" … and all was polluted

Everything touched by filth ... and it’s hardly understood.
