Do You Think You're A Good Person?

Where does your conscience come from? Do you believe we know right from wrong? I do!
God created a conscience for us. The Bible says He wrote the law on your heart and in your mind. (Job 38:36)

The Bad News:
God requires us to be perfect, without sin, to enter His Kingdom. However, no one is without sin, not one. All of us face eternal judgment and separation from God.

Have you ever told a lie?

Have you ever stolen anything (even as small as candy, money from your mom's purse, a toy from your sibling)?

Have you ever looked at someone with sexual desires? Jesus said: 'Whoever looks at a women to lust after her has committed adultery with her in his heart.' (Matt 5:28)

Ever called someone a 'jerk', or flipped someone off while you were driving?
Jesus said: 'Whoever hates his brother is a murderer.' (Matt 5:22)

Ever used God's name to curse?
You wouldn't use your own mother's name as a filthy word. Why then your Creator's?
That is blasphemy.

Was jealous of someone else, or wanted something that isn't yours? (ex: materials things like a car, house, or clothing; subjective things like a personality; objective things like wealth, popularity, or a co-worker's vacation)
That is coveting.

Always honoured your mother and father?

"Okay, so I'm not perfect."
Sin isn't just doing things we shouldn't. It's also NOT doing the things we should.

"Well I'm not as bad as some people"
True, but the standard is God's law. NOT other people.

"But won't God forgive me?"
Try that in court.
'I know I've broken the law, but look at all the good I've done!'
A good judge would demand you to pay for your crimes.
God hates sin! Jesus warned us that God in His wrath, will cast out all who sin against him into eternal fire 'where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' (Matt 13:42)

You see, He doesn't just go after the thieves and murderers, but He'll judge the liar, the drunkard, the fornicator, the adulterer, and the coveter. He goes deeper into your thought life as well.
'God knows the secrets of the heart.' (Psalm 44:21)

Ready for the Good News?
You see, this is why we must receive Jesus Christ into our life as Lord. He is the only one who lived a perfect and sinless life and thus became the substitute for our sins. He rose from the dead proving he was God and he wants to save us from the penalty of sin, to deal with evil, and to give us eternal life. This is what it means to believe in Jesus.
God wants us to be reconciled to himself so much that he gave His only begotten Son to die for us.(John 3:16)
I pray that you may some day consider this.


Q&A:
"But what about all other religions?"
Other religions believe in gods crafted by hand, made of silver, gold, or wood. All other religions believe in good deeds to save them from eternal judgment. But there is only ONE God. And we do not have the power to save ourselves. We've broken the law and there has to be a price to pay. Only Jesus Christ can save us!

"Why does God allow suffering?"
We live in a fallen world and man has brought it upon himself. But that is not God's Will. God offers to believers in Jesus of a new heaven and earth where there will be no more suffering.
