ISN’T BEING A GOOD PERSON ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS?
Answer:
Much of the world knows the Golden Rule simply as "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" (see Luke 6:31). According to this verse, if we can live by this rule and love our neighbor as much as we love ourselves, we fulfill the Law. If those who claim to do this have ever broken any of the Commandments, then they haven’t loved those they have lied to, stolen from, etc.
This will show that they have violated the Golden Rule, and thus are not good people. To be good we must be perfect. Why? because this is how our perfectly Holy (without any sin) God defines “good” (Mt. 5:48). One small cockroach in a galloon of water makes the whole thing bad, so also does one small sin keep us from being good. All who have sinned are under God’s wrath (John 3:36), desperately needing the Savior's cleansing blood.
