Altogether Sinful

Although the leper had only one spot, he is a picture of thousands of people today. They are willing to admit that all is not as it ought to be in their lives, but they insist that they are no worse than others.
But when God reveals to them their own hearts, they see that they are sinners—that there is not a sound place in them from their head to their feet, and that their good works are only "filthy rags" in God's sight.
"To him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." Rom. 4:55But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. (Romans 4:5).
Not until we see our sinful condition as God sees it, are we willing to take our right attitude before Him and say to the Lord Jesus:
"Just as I am—and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot:
O Lamb of God, I come!”
