Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it…
Psalm 127:1
All efforts to improve the world are in vain if we rely on our own goodness. Even the finest humans are too depraved and corrupt to be righteous in and of themselves.
Good deeds are stained with filthy sins and are unacceptable in the sight of the most holy God. There is nothing we can do about this, unless we reconcile with God through Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 64:6
Without God, we have no purpose. Our labor is in vain and we exist to serve temporal needs only. If we are to have any semblance of order on earth, then a Gospel foundation is the first necessity.
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Psalm 90:17
