Is Our Righteousness Like Filthy Rags – Isaiah 26:4? (video)
Do our good works really mean nothing to God? This video examines the true meaning of Isaiah 64:6 (“all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags”) and responds to the common Calvinist claim that all human righteousness is worthless God. By looking carefully at the context of Isaiah 64, this study shows that the prophet was condemning the hypocrisy and rebellion of sinful Israel—not teaching that every act of righteousness is meaningless to God. This video also explores key Bible passages about righteousness, good works, Cornelius in Acts 10, the Pharisees, and God’s judgment according to works, demonstrating that Scripture consistently teaches that God values obedience, righteousness, and good works, even though salvation is through Christ alone.
