When 99.9% Pure Isn’t Good Enough (And What to Do About It)

Exodus 19.  

God was about to tell Moses the mysteries of the world, yet the children of Israel could not come up on the mountain with God, even though they were consecrated for the day.  Was Moses more special than the others-how was he able to meet with God on the mountain?  

Maybe you've felt unworthy; maybe you struggle with past sins and guilt and cannot get past them, wondering if you'll ever be good enough.  

Even 99.9% pure is not good enough in this case-only God's aid can make the impossible equation balance . . . .
