Being a good person won't save you Isaiah 64:6 "We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment." We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. Good works will not save you, being a good person will not grant you eternal residence with the Lord. As we see in this verse, good deeds are as polluted garments, stated as filthy rags in other translations. There will be no opportunity to justify rejecting Christ when you stand before Him. We are only saved by Faith in His Grace, which He made evident in His Sacrifice and through the Words of His Apostles. Eph 2:8 "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God" Eph 2:9 "not a result of works, so that no one may boast." John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. We are only saved by the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. In the Old Testament, a sacrifice was always required from the Jews in the form of an unblemished lamb. The problem is, this had to be repeated over and over, so there needed to be a final atonement. Jesus is the perfect passover lamb, it is only by His blood that we are saved. It’s as simple as confessing your need for a Savior and that that savior is Christ, and living each day for him. Deny yourself of the pleasures of the world and read His Word (The Bible) frequently. The cost of sin has been paid, salvation is a free gift. Without it, we are damned.
