Do you think
you are a good person?
The bible
say's every person is pure in their own eyes and every person will proclaim
their own goodness. -Proverbs 30:12/Proverbs 20:6
People do this because they have
no idea about the righteousness of God. They have no standard to compare
themselves to.
A little girl was looking at sheep
eating grass. She thought how nice and white the sheep was against the green
grass.
Then it began to snow. The
girl looked back at the sheep and thought how dirty the sheep now looked
against the white snow.
Same sheep.
Different background. When you and I
compare ourselves to the background of man's standard, we come out
reasonably clean.
There are plenty of people
worst then me. Adolph Hitler makes me look pure white. But when we have
the snowy white righteousness of God's law as the backdrop, suddenly we
can see ourselves in truth. That's the purpose of the law.
The law of the Lord is
perfect, converting the soul. -Psalm 19:7
