W. Robert Godfrey: The Upright

Summary

The sermon explores the concept of "the upright" as presented in Scripture, particularly in Psalm 11, challenging the common perception of believers who humbly deny their righteousness. It contrasts this scriptural portrayal with the human tendency to identify first and foremost as sinners, referencing Romans' emphasis on sin as the fundamental problem that necessitates God's revelation of His wrath before His solution can be understood. The practical takeaway is to re-evaluate our self-understanding in Christ, recognizing that the Bible describes believers in terms of holiness and righteousness, not just sinfulness.
