We have all heard it, "I'm a good person."
But by what standards? Can one actually claim themselves to be good, or does it make more sense if someone else does?
The Bible says, and there's no exception except Jesus Christ, that "All fall short of the glory of God." Our self righteousness is filthy rags in God's Justice.
So have you ever been unjustified in anger towards anyone? Roadrage, got the wrong idea then later realized you were wrong, oops, you misunderstood and maybe even apologized? Jesus says, if you ever hated someone, you already committed MURDER.
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.
Matthew 5:21-22 NKJV
So, especially us who call ourselves Christians, understand we can never be good enough in God's court. REPENT, is the key. Not works. Jesus paid our price for sin, but if we do not receive this gift, eternal damnation.
God is justice, not cruel. If you had a speeding ticket, and you couldn't pay, and I paid it, the judge would allow it. But if you refused to except my gift of paying the speeding ticket, you are still responsible. Samething, thank you Jesus for your humble gift. I receive it today.
