All our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment

The devil takes ONE Scripture and he turns it around, he TWISTS it to DECEIVE wicked people who listen to him. And one of those scriptures that the devil often uses to lead believers into UNRIGHTEOUSNESS is Isaiah 64:6 “He says and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment.” And that one verse is used as an EXCUSE to DO SIN.  The wages of sin is death and the wrath of God comes on mankind because of sin and unrighteousness.  We will all be judged by our DEEDS.  If our deeds are unrighteous we will perish.  We must turn from sin and live righteously or else we will perish.  This passage of Scripture Isaiah 64 IS A PRAYER FOR MERCY and HELP. Why did Isaiah PRAYED this PRAYER for MERCY? Because the people had SINNED, NOT because they were righteous. GOD SUPPORTS THE RIGHTEOUS but HE JUDGES THE UNRIGHTEOUS. Now WICKED PEOPLE take ONE line out of a scripture to make you believe that your RIGHTEOUS DEEDS are like a FILTHY CLOTH UNTO GOD.
You need to read the whole passage. I am going to read from Isaiah 64:4 onwards, part of this PRAYER for MERCY. “For from of old they have not heard nor perceived by ear, Neither has the eye seen a God besides Thee, who ACTS on behalf of the one who waits for Him. Thou does meet him that rejoices in doing righteousness, who remembers Thee in Thy ways: but Thou was ANGRY; for we SINNED, we continued in them a long time. And shall we be saved for all of us has become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our INIQUITIES, like the wind, take us away. There is NO ONE who calls on Thy Name, Who arouses himself to take HOLD of THEE; For Thou has hidden Thy face from us and has delivered us INTO THE POWER OF OUR INIQUITIES."  Does that sound like RIGHTEOUSNESS to you my friend? Do not let the devil DECEIVE you. Go read the whole passage. God is a GOD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, He is a GOD OF MERCY, but here the prophet writes, he says: NOBODY IS CALLING OUT TO GOD, they have ALL become WICKED and that is why they are EXPECTING the JUDGMENT OF GOD on them, NOT because they are RIGHTEOUS. Don’t be deceived by the devil my friend. The WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH.
Don’t believe those people who say to you that your WORKS DON’T COUNT. Your works will determine whether you spend eternity in HEAVEN or in HELL.
May Jesus bless you.
