YOU ARE NOT A GOOD PERSON: What Your Morality Reveals About Your Need for God - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

What if the reason you think you are a good person is that you are using the wrong standard?



Most people believe they are good people.



Not perfect. Not without mistakes. But good enough.



You work hard. You love your family. You help people. You try to be honest. You have done more good than bad. And when you compare yourself with people who have done worse, your conclusion seems obvious: I am a good person.



But what if God does not measure goodness the way you do?



YOU ARE NOT A GOOD PERSON confronts one of the most comfortable assumptions we make about ourselves: that our morality is enough to make us right with God.



Drawing directly from Scripture, this book examines what God calls good, what sin really is, and why comparison, excuses, good works, religion, and personal effort cannot make a sinner righteous before a holy God.



You will discover why:

• Being better than other people does not make you righteous.


• Doing more good than bad cannot erase guilt.


• Your intentions and excuses cannot change God's standard.


• Religious activity cannot substitute for genuine faith.


• Trying harder cannot save you.

But this is not a book about condemnation without hope.



The Bible's diagnosis points to a greater answer.



You need a Savior.



Jesus Christ did what you could never do. He lived without sin, died for sinners, and rose again. Salvation is not a reward for becoming good enough. It is the gift of God through Jesus Christ.



So the most important question is no longer:



“Am I a good person?”



It is:



“Am I reconciled to God?”



If you are tired of measuring yourself against everyone around you, defending your failures, or trusting in your own goodness, this book will bring you back to the standard that actually matters: God's Word.



And it will bring you to the only hope that can truly save you.



Your goodness was never your hope. Christ is.
