 Your good deeds are like this jacket. Maybe on your own, you're not super cool, not that impressive. But because of your good deeds, this jacket, God approves, guys got drip. But the truth is our good deeds are more like this dirty rag. Nothing impressive to God. In fact, it's kind of insulting to God. We're like an employee who's stealing secretly from our boss and yet on the outside is trying to appear as the model employee. We're rebelling against God in our hearts. And our exterior good works don't cover up the stain on our hearts. But through Jesus and his sacrifice on our behalf, we can be forgiven, we can be washed clean. God sees us as righteous not because of what we have done, but because of what Jesus has done on our behalf. Now we do good works as an overflow of our love for God, not as a means to earn it.
