Q&A I am good person, are you?

A: re reply "I am good":  

if you click the link and go thru the short video www.needGod.com you will see the entire OT reveals sin, you can see it in the 10C as well.... that hatred is murder, lust is violating the 7th commandment. God has given the 10 commandments to show us none of us are good. He sees our thoughts and the things we say and do. Scripture is clear not 1 person is good , all have sinned and fallen short of God's [perfection]. Sin cannot be in God's presence without receiving wrath. He is others perfect we are woefully sinful and stained.

We are sin stained, he is perfect and holy. We are not good people. No true Christian will ever say they are a good person. We came to Jesus for salvation after seeing how horrific our sins [crimes against God] are, and that thru the Savior we can and have been saved when we repented and trusted in Jesus [work to pay our fine].* It is also how we are given power over sin, grow in faith, hate sin and try to not do it, even though we carry our dead old self with us in this life, but exchange it for a perfect sinless body in eternity.

It is also why God keeps believers here and doesn't automatically take us to Heaven, not only do we worship him here, serve him, do good cuz we live him, buy also are given the privilege and task of sharing the gospel so others can be forgiven and made right with God too.
