'Can a mortal be more righteous than God? Can a man be more pure than his Maker?' Job 4:17
...Says a spirit, a mysterious form in the night, to Eliphaz a friend of Job. He's in the midst of dreaming when all of sudden he's terrified at the presence of this being who then begins to whisper conviciting nothings in to his ear.
It doesn't whisper murderous threats or haunting growls - even more powerful it begs the questions above. It challenges his (or maybe this is a vision for Job) claim to goodness, power and righteousness in his own right etc. It causes him to discern his own attitude toward the Creator and his own understanding of his place in the world.
'Why do you call me good? No one is good - except God alone' replied Jesus to a young man seeking to follow Him.
It's true. The Son of God was solidifying what the wild spirit from Eliphaz's vision was positing. That God is good, righteous and pure and no imperfect human (that's all of us in case you were wondering) could be more so than Him.
How we view our position in relationship to God affects how we worship or fail to worship Him.
Read Luke 18:18-30 for the story of the young man.
