Ezekiel 14:19‭-‬20 NLT “Or suppose I were to pour out my fury by sending an epidemic into the land, and the disease killed people and animals alike. As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were there, they wouldn’t be able to save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved by their righteousness.

If God would have allowed deadly diseases into the land, the righteousness of Noah, Daniel, and Job would save them from death.

These three men believed and honored God and it was considered righteous, but based on Isaiah 64:6, their righteousness are as filthy rags. No matter how much good they’ve done, because of sin, their righteousness is corrupted. Although corrupted and filthy, God said their righteousness would still save them from a deadly disease.

Old Testament saints didn’t have the luxury of having Jesus Christ as their sacrifice for sin. Through our faith in Jesus Christ, we are made righteous (Rom. 3:22). This righteousness is incorruptible. This righteousness not only saves us from sickness and disease, but it also saves us from eternal death in hell.

Don’t worry about disease or eternal death. If you have His righteousness, we will be saved. Praise God for the incorruptible righteousness that we have through Jesus Christ.
