But I Was
A Good
Person!
“All have turned away,
They have together become worthless;
There is no one who does good
Not Even One.”
Romans 3:12
If you ask most people if they were to die
and stand before Christ, what would they say
why they should enter heaven,
and the most common answer is…
I’m A Good Person
Well, according to God’s Word, that is sadly
not the right answer.
Romans 3:12 says, there is
NO ONE —
no matter how many honorable, good, and charitable
things they have done in their lives, no matter how much love,
kindness, or generosity, self-sacrifice and charitable
giving or contributions to mankind or awards won or received
justifies entrance into heaven.
Any sentence that begins with “I” will be the wrong answer!
You see, the Bible says that we are saved by God’s mercy
through Christ dying for the sins of the world on the cross.
It was His atonement (i.e. payment) for our sins that
qualifies all who confess this openly and believe it in their
hearts and are repentant for their sins. (Romans 10:9, Acts 3:19)
Then and only then are your sins wiped clean and you are
justified to enter into eternal glory.
Friend, for some (maybe even you) this is a hard saying,
but please heed this message of
Good News
(literally “The Gospel”)
that salvation and eternity are a free gift and available
for all that believe the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.
Being 'good' saves no one. Only Christ can save.
The only thing that is left is whether you believe and receive
this or not…and that Is Entirely Up To YOU.
