Let everything I do or say reflect you in every way: Being "Good" isn't Good Enough!

Love this saying & this shirt, I actually own this shirt. 

I wanted to write a post about this topic. Yesterday on The View (Which I only watch now that Candace Cameron Bure is on it) they were talking about an atheist billboard that said "Go ahead & skip church, just be good for goodness sake, Happy Holidays" & Joy asked Candace if this offended her being that she is a christian woman & I love her response, "You couldn't feed me something better to say to have a conversation that would then lead into sharing the gospel message. I would then say well what is good & what's the standard of goodness & what's God's standard of goodness?"

God's standard of goodness is the 10 Commandments, here is a list of them:

Now, I know most of us haven't murdered someone or stolen anything or committed adultery, etc. But have you lied? Have you always honored your parents? Have you ever used God's name in vain? Have you ever coveted, wishing you had something someone else has? The list goes on...

The bible says that, "For whoever keeps the whole law & yet 

stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it." - James 2:10

Also it says, "Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, & 

you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him." -1 John 3:15

So by that standard non of us are "Good" & "Being Good isn't Good Enough."

BUT, 

THE GOOD NEWS IS THIS:

The price has already been paid in FULL for us. God sent his 

son Jesus Christ to pay that price for us by dying on the cross.
