Today's Reading
Can an Ethiopians change the color of his skin?
Can a leopard take away its spots?
Neither can you start doing good,
for you have always done evil. (Jeremiah 13:23 NLT)
What a statement of truth in the face of those who think they can make themselves good enough to merit God's forgiveness. We can't make ourselves good. The closest we can get is akin to turning our lives into something like the idols they carved back then. We may look "alive" but we are still spiritually lifeless until God gives us new birth.
