Why Do You Call Me Good?

www.truthforlife.org || By: Alistair Begg - For many, the hope of eternal life lies in how well they have lived. The Gospel of Mark’s account of the rich young ruler presents us with a man who strictly observed the law, yet was still not sure of his salvation. Alistair Begg explains how this man’s exchange with Jesus challenges our view of the law, showing us that we do not have the capacity to live good lives. Our hope for eternal life, we must realize, rests not in a life well lived, but in Jesus Christ alone.

Thank God for his GLORY all over the world! Over 7 billion people affected. Goodness all over! Thank you, God. We now have unprecedented goodness as Isaiah chapter 42 comes to pass in our lifetime. Goodness prevailing all over the world! However like the lifespan of a man the atmosphere will change soon. But right now we in the house of Israel are perfecting our goodness. We are defeating the enemy per the spoken words of Jesus, casting out darkness and all manner of badness. God is showing us the way and we are following him in being the best we can be. Amen.

You have to be very careful and leary of someone that says, "why call me good" because they could be from the devil. Just as Adam and Eve were deceived in the garden we can be deceived by him again here in believing in Jesus. I tell you now that the one thing GOD in heaven would want us to do is take after him. Like FATHER like son. We're talking learning about goodness. Why? Because God is good. Abiding by each one of the commandments is a good thing not because we have to but because we want to, big difference. And we don't stop there, we continue becoming good like God. Only somebody that is condemned will give up on goodness, they will not seek after it. Goodness is attainable and achievable as long as God's mercy endureth. Bad is more a sin than transgressing the ten commandments. We can be forgiven for bad if we repent and turn away. We can overcome, grow and become who and what God will have us be. We are a work in progress, on a journey from the old man to the new man. From one house to another. By removing all demon possession from our souls we can begin construction of the new temple on the inside of us, a place where God will find suitable to come and dwell with us. God will not dwell with bad, folks. So what Jesus said is a big no no. It is something a holy man should not utter out his mouth unless they were going to make amends. Those that are bad are demon possessed and need to extract that badness out of them. Jesus had undergone a lot from a relentless devil in pursuit of snatching Jesus. However we all say things that we later regret and Jesus did tell us to be perfect as our FATHER in heaven is perfect. Right there tells you that we are to be good as GOD is good, understand? So he changed and modified (why call me good?) We are to be good as GOD is good. Goodness matters! There are so many bad character traits that we must overcome and the love of money is at the top of the list. You need to give it all away to get those money demons out of your soul. Free yourself up by being GOOD! Save yourself from hell by following goodness. Amen.

Preacher, why drag this out for 30 minutes. You certainly don't understand this parable. Re: Amazing/ Good Teacher... 1) This man fell at the feet of Jesus, in a position of worship... He did not use the word "good" lightly. 2) If Jesus was GOD why did he immediately reject the man's worship... Because his amazing teaching ability came from A HIGHER POWER.
