Episode 361 - Show Notes:
- There is a prevailing assumption in our world: Good people go to Heaven. This is an assumption by all classes of people, all races, and most world religions. Likely, it is an assumption held by people you know, people you love, people you work with, and people you go to school with. Unfortunately, it is a false assumption.
- The Bible doesn’t teach us Heaven is a place for good people. It teaches Heaven is a place for sinful people who found grace and forgiveness through Jesus.
- What is so important in this conversation is not how we see ourselves, but how God sees us. Apart from the saving grace of Jesus Christ, we are still lost in our sins.
- Our salvation is not based on our ability to be good people. If it were, none of us would be saved since there is no one who is truly good. As believers when we stand before God it will not be on the basis of our goodness, but on the basis of the goodness of Jesus. We are not saved by our good works, but by the good works Jesus did for us by giving his life on the cross as payment for our sins.
Luke 18:19 - “No one is good - except God alone.”
Psalm 14:2-3 - "“The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
Romans 3:23 - “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
