When it comes to being good, most people think they are good enough to go to heaven.
They look at their lives and they think:
“I’ve lived a fairly moral life.”

They justify themselves by comparing themselves to other people.

Perfection is the standard.
How are you doing at being perfect?
How many times have you lied?
How many times have you looked at someone with lust?
How many times have you called your brother fool?
How many times have you used the Lord’s name in vain?
If you’ve done one of those just once, you aren’t perfect.
You haven’t met the standard.
And you say:
“But no one is perfect.”
“Everyone lies.”
“Everyone’s sinned.”
And you are right!
When you say that, you are quoting a Bible verse, Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”
