Are you a good person? - NCCG.ORG Ning Network Archive 2008-10

Mark 10:18-21 And Yah'shua said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, Elohim.Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. Then Yah'shua beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

I can't begin to tell you. So many people I've shared the Gospel with have answered, "Well -- I don't need that, I'm a good person." No, we're not. We have a tendency to compare ourselves with our neighbour, thinking how nice or how giving we are compared to him or her. But none of us are good by Yahweh's standards. Our good works are like filthy rags, according to Isaiah.

This guy thought he was a great guy. "Yeah Yah'shua, really, I've done all this stuff you say, even from my youth!" One thing he lacked, though. He needed to take up his cross and follow Him.

We can do lot's of good things. But have we truly taken up our taken up our cross today and followed Him today? It's time. Today is the day to take up our cross! Today is the day to give our lives for Yah's purposes and follow Him!
