Default Are you a good person?

I took the test...
I failed...
I have broken all 10 commandments...
Lord, please forgive me.


But by admitting I failed, and accepting Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior, I am saved. He paid the price for my failure.

Could there ever be a love greater than that?

Are you a good person?

There is none good but one and that being God. In my flesh dwells no good thing.

not much use in taking that test. I already know I'm not good enough on my own to make it to heaven. that why I call on Christ Jesus, the only way.

I have seen similar questions used in a personal way work quite well, but to be honest I think most people are well aware that they are doing lots wrong, they dont know what to do about it though.

That's just weird?!?!

How can a stupid test tell if you're a good person or not? As if... it kinda makes me angry, because HELLOOO it says in the beginning: "are you good ENOUGH to go to heaven?" as if a random test can say you are good enough... it's God's job to judge, not ours, so just live your life like YOU think is right, and don't let some person who made this test tell you you're doing wrong or right. Because if we would really have to listen to all ten commandmends, nobody would pass, not even the pope.

Hi Pam. God declares that no one is good enough to stand in front of His holiness. That is why He sent Jesus to pay the price for our sins. He took our sins and gave us His righteousness. All we have to do is ask and we can partake of this provision.

I don’t know if you missed the point or not Pam. For me, when I happened across that test, I already knew what the answers were, but it was very thought provoking for me. I don’t expect anyone to base their salvation on the test, and I know, along with everyone else on this forum, that not one person can pass that test. It wasn’t meant to see if you pass or fail, it was meant as something to think about. And of course, there are the “guests” who read these threads as well. If it helps one person at least think about what they do on a daily basis and how the 10 commandments can not be kept by using our own human effort… I think then the test is a success for someone who fails.

Blessings
Dean
