In desperate need of a savior

And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” (Mark 7:20-23 ESV)

We are defiled from the inside of our very being.  We can not save ourselves, but praise be to God that as Romans 5:8 says, "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us".  We are a wicked people in desperate need of a Savior, and we are beyond blessed that God the Father saw fit to send His only Son into the world to save us from ourselves...Amen!
