Be careful how you answer that question. We tend to compare ourselves to someone else and say “I am a good person.” Especially compared to do and so. Let’s see what God says:
“As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.””
Romans 3:10-12
Conclusion…you are not good! Ouch!
So how does one become good? Only one way!
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,”
II Corinthians 5:17-18
In Christ is only way to be good in God’s eyes. Following Jesus as your Lord and Savior by trusting in His shed blood to cover your sins. Nothing you have done can make you good it’s all Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.
I know that’s a tough pill to swallow but it’s the truth!
