Does Christianity Make
People 'Good??'

“When we were dead in our transgressions,
God made us alive together
through Christ”

Ephesians 2:5

bad+good Here’s the short answer….. NO!!

Contrary to popular belief, Christianity does NOT make Bad People Good. What it actually does is It Makes Dead People LIVE. So what exactly does that mean?

The Bible says that all of us in this life are 'sinners,' and if that offends you, consider the following.

Have you ever lied? Stolen anything? Sworn and used profanity and especially used God’s name in vein? Lusted after someone sexually? If you’re honest, we have ALL done one these things or more of and in doing so the Bible says that therefore we are all sinners and that we will all die in our sins. That means that all sinners at death will be separated from God forever, however the GOOD NEWS (i.e. literally the definition of the word “Gospel”) of today’s Bible verse tells us that God will make all that have been dead spiritually alive for all eternity for those that have accepted the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.

You see, it is not 'good people' that go to heaven, but those that have been “MADE ALIVE” through Christ. It is His desire that we all be 'made alive' and that no one would ever perish and be separated from Him for eternity, but that everyone comes to truly repent of their sins. (2 Peter 3:9) The only thing lacking is making the decision to let Him make you “Alive In Christ” by simply confessing from your heart honestly that you are a sinner and ask Him to forgive you of all that you have ever done. That is when your old spirit of sin within you will be REBORN and your life with God into eternity begins. (John 3:16)

If you have not done so yet (and you know who you are…) why not make that decision right now. You have no guarantee of living another day on this earth, but you DO have a guarantee of eternal life waiting for you. All you have to do is decide to accept it.

Do you want to accept it?
