Mark 10:18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No-one is good – except God alone.
Praise the LORD for He is good! – Only God is good, no one else is. If you are called a “good person” then that person saying it does not know his or her Bible or are from the world. The genteel world can call you good but they do not read the Bible. Some read it, but do not understand it. Jesus was an iconoclast, attacking cherished beliefs, some of it still prevalent today. One’s pride, selfishness, greed and sinful thoughts and acts make one an imperfect human being. It is a fact that this race has sinned and will never be good in this realm. We are unable to keep the Ten Commandments, however hard we try. We need to make a u-turn, back to God who is good. There is no Christian who is good and we need to pray daily for forgiveness of sins. Born again Christians already live in a different realm, although full of sin, living under the grace of God. To be called a Christian, should be enough to convince the world that you are different, in a good way. Keep the faith.
