What About Really Good People?

Some people say, "I'm a good person.  I'll be fine without Christ."   Humility is seeing reality.  The reality is that God created us for Himself so He could love us.  Those who reject Him, He will correct.  Those who continually reject Him, He will correct more severely.  It can become very severe.  There is not satisfaction outside of God.  The enemy of every person, Satan, lies and holds out the importance of sin and independence from God.  The enemy says that these things will give satisfaction.  They will give no permanent satisfaction, just the mild false promise of it.  And then, Satan says that the ungodly person is a good person and does not need God.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  

Consider the most important commandment, which you have not kept.

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

God gave the Way at great personal sacrifice to Himself. 

Rejection of God's mercy is the most unintelligent choice any person could possibly make. 

To deny that God exists so that one could pursue rebellion against God is often a foolish way to try to justify such an unintelligent choice.  For a person to deny that he or she is in need of a Savior or is too good to need forgiveness, this is arrogance.  Some people think that they are pretty good, but is God convinced?
