📖 GOOD ENOUGH WITHOUT JESUS?
“Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.” — Job 13:19
One of the greatest deceptions of mankind is the belief that being “good” is enough to stand justified before a holy God.
People often say, “I’ve never killed anyone. I try to help others. I live by the Golden Rule. I do more good than bad.” In other words, many believe their morality outweighs their sin, and therefore they have no real need for Jesus Christ.
But God’s Word says otherwise.
The Scriptures plainly declare that “no man is justified before God by the law.” No amount of self-effort, charity, kindness, religion, or personal goodness can erase sin. Isaiah understood this when he cried, “I am a man of unclean lips.” The closer a man comes to the holiness of God, the more aware he becomes of his own spiritual condition.
The world says, “Be good enough.”
God says, “You must be born again.”
Ephesians reminds us that salvation is a gift purchased through Christ. Romans 10:9-10 declares that salvation comes through confessing and believing in Jesus Christ. John 14:6 settles the issue forever when Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Without Jesus Christ, we are spiritually bankrupt. Without Him, we are separated from God, regardless of how “good” we appear outwardly.
Jeremiah described mankind’s self-righteous efforts as “filthy rags.” Why? Because salvation was never meant to be earned—it was meant to be received through repentance, grace, faith, and the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
The question is not, “Am I better than someone else?”
The question is, “What have I done with Jesus Christ?”
