.....In the scriptures we read, then the rich young man who desired to inherit eternal life cried out to Jesus, GOOD MASTER GOOD MASTER.......Jesus answered back....Man, why do you call Me good, there is no one good but God?
Friend by the word of the Lord here God knows us all fully and God has already said plainly that there is no one good but God. What is good to God includes perfect flawless perfection in holiness and love, in mercy, and faith. What man calls good is an abomination compared to the Lords High Standard.
Paul wrote in Romans that there is none righteous, none really good.....and the Lord laid on Jesus our punishment for our lack of goodness, for our sins.
Let's stop deceiving and kidding ourselves. Surely there are some well trained people who are more disciplined to hide the flaws, who keep the flesh under and are sweet and kind and live fruitful lives worthy of honor BUT PERFECTION IS NONE OF THEM....There is really no one perfect and good but God. The rest of us need His Cross. It is His cross that preaches how good we all really are. As it is written, For our transgressions and sins He was stricken......Jesus is Lord......scroll down.
......Come to the Cross of Christ. From the cross flows the fountain of Gods redeeming blood......deno.
