Lets continue to look at the why ,last time we considered how because of our sinful nature,we have the potential to do awful things.That may appear very negative,after all many people do a lot of good things, we could write down a list of people, like nurses ,doctors,etc.One can think of great people like Gandhi and many others who we admire,and there are people who raise money for charity?. Life is not totally negative, on one level, one could say they are good,that is a human level.Even then one can also say are any of them perfect, no,and from Gods level they are all sinners like everyone else. Religion does not change that, good works does not change that.No one is sinless in relation to their thought life,it may surprise us if we knew as to what others are thinking,it doesn't surprise God. Seemingly good people do not always act ,from pure motives,and sad to say, people refuse to give praise or glory to God. As to speech I know no one whose perfect in speech , do you?,and further more, are you?. If we were all held up to the light,what would we see? what blemishes would be revealed?. I remember many years ago, being shown how eggs were examined as to their fitness to be sold,a light was shown through then,to see if they were bad eggs.The fact is we are all bad eggs in God sight,none of us are pure morally,we are all tainted ,affected by our fallen nature.We are all in the same boat,we all need a Saviour, and because we cannot save ourselves God in mercy has provided a way,the answer is Jesus.Stop fooling yourself, protesting your innocence , we are all deserving of hell,that means you and that means me.
