Episode notes
Righteous Deeds as Polluted Garments
- Isaiah 64:6 uses the analogy of a polluted garment to describe how Israel's so-called righteous deeds are actually unacceptable due to unrighteous motives.
- This doesn't mean God despises our good works, but that He judges them based on the heart behind them.
Understanding God Hiding His Face
- When Scripture says God 'hides His face', it means the perceived distance we feel from Him when we sin, not an actual withdrawal of His presence.
- God's kindness produces repentance; He remains close even when He seems distant.
Heaven and Earth Recreated
- God will recreate both heaven and earth because heaven has been tainted by sin, as indicated by Lucifer's fall.
- The restored creation will involve a new Jerusalem where God's kingdom will dwell with His people forever.
