People generally consider themselves good people. Judging themselves against some pre-determined level of conscience or relatively to other people."well I'm certainty better than that person!" Let us beware! If we live by the law we will also be condemned by the law. If we judge ourselves by our works, by our works we will be judged. Even if we just consider the imperfect law we set for ourselves to live by."Oh that person was horrible for talking behind so and so's back" then what do we catch ourselves doing the very next day... The same. Condemned from our very own mouths.
If we now consider the perfect law that God lays down we soon realise why deuteronomy 27:26 states that cursed are those under the law. We may claim goodness but the reality is quite the opposite. But there is hope. When Jesus died on the cross he took the curse from us if we only receive it through faith. However much we try, we cannot obtain salvation through goodness, we cannot obtain salvation through works. Before we were even born we were disqualified by our very nature... Jesus is our only hope for life...
