People often refer to other individuals as being good. They will say, “He is a good man”, or “She is a good mother.” Usually this is done as a result of observing gracious, benevolent or even merciful behavior being extended to others. But the Bible conveys another view of our human condition. When Jesus was called a “Good teacher” by a certain ruler Jesus responded by saying “No one is good-except God alone”, Luke 18:19 (NIV). Romans 3:12 tells us, “…there is no one who does good, not even one” (NIV). In a carnal or sinful state there is nothing we can do or say that will cause God to look upon us as being good. We can, none the less, be considered right or “righteous” before God if we trust him to cleanse us from what is bad. Once we ask Christ to forgive us of our sins we are declared right before God and He no longer looks upon us as being bad. Have you become righteous in the eyes of God? Something to think about…
