“Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin”?” Proverbs 20:9 NIV
The Bible isn’t a “downer” but it grounds us all to earth. Generally speaking our diet is from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and once we partake from its fruit all we can do is judge. We judge, compare, and classify others and ourselves. However when judging others we think of ourselves better than. We can’t help it, it’s part of the diet.
This is when the Bible comes in and goes “slow down… come back to earth”. You and I aren’t much different, we might hide different things better or don’t struggle with what you struggle, but none of us have kept our heart pure by God’s standards.
Once we embrace this message that’s when we can the best humans. Not because we will go rampant on our desires, but because we will go extra in our empathy.
