Understanding Personal Righteousness and the False Security of "Righteousness by Association"
09/27/23 • 26 min
Could your faith save the lives of those around you if God's wrath was imminent? Hold on to that thought as we journey into the profound world of Ezekiel 14 in this episode of Truth Track. Pastor Jason Hovde brings to light the critical importance of personal faith and the pitfalls of leaning on someone else's righteousness for salvation.
Step into the ancient times as we delve into the intriguing conversation between God and Ezekiel, highlighting the divine decree against idol worship and the ominous outcomes for the prophet and the inquirer. Walk with us alongside three righteous men - Noah, Daniel, and Job - and realize how, in the face of God's wrath, their righteousness could only secure their own deliverance. Their faith, despite its depth, fails to shield anyone else, sending across a potent message - our salvation lies in our faith and not someone else's.
As we draw the curtains on our exploration of Ezekiel 14, we express our immense gratitude to our listeners for their unwavering support. We leave you with a caution against 'righteousness by association' and an urgent call to follow Paul's advice in 2 Corinthians 6. It's time to embrace God's grace, cultivate your personal faith, and tread the path of righteousness. Tune in to this enriching episode to uncover the profound wisdom within these scriptures and fortify your faith in God.
