Or, if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him?
7 If you are righteous, what do you give Him?
Or what does He receive from your hand?
8 Your wickedness affects a man such as you,
And your righteousness a son of man." vv.6-8
Read chapter 35
There is nothing we can do to add or take way of God's righteousness. If we sin, this doesn't make Him any less of a powerful, almighty God. If we live according to His will, this neither makes Him any greater of a god. Yet people base who God is on the character of others, what they do or do not do. The only way we can know God today is through Jesus Christ, He is the man that we can understand God's character. Ok so we don't have Jesus walking around today like He did 2,000 years ago, but we have the Bible that tells of Jesus starting in Genesis 1 all the way to Revelation 22. Scripture is how we can who God is and not base on any man. Yet what will affect of our transgressions or righteousness is unto other men. In Matthew 12 it talks about good trees bearing good fruit and bad trees bearing bad fruit. That fruit is born for others to feast off of. So if a bad fruit is eaten they become sick and if a good fruit is eaten they are healthy. So how do you view your sins or righteousness in effecting others? Do you deep down think you're doing God a favor or making Him any less of who He is?
