Why Is Being Good Not Good Enough | Ask Pastor James

About this sermon

What does the Bible say about being good? Why is being good not good enough? I'm really not that bad... Ask Pastor James So, really the question that we're getting here is: Why is being good not good enough? The question is sourced in the belief that I'm really not that bad, and typically that's because we really don't understand God's law and how severely we have broken it. You can't get 10 seconds or 10 inches into those 10 Commandments without seeing how completely bad we are by God's standards. Isaiah 64 says that "All our righteousness is as filthy rags in God's sight." The very things we believe would commend us to God are the things that are most despised in God's eyes, because those are the things that make us think we don't need Jesus.
