 The purpose of this life is just to be a good person. Are you a good person? Well, I mean, I try to be. Right, but if you were to measure yourself against God's standard, like the Ten Commandments, have you ever lied, stolen something, wanted something that wasn't yours, lusted after someone, hated someone? Okay, okay, I'm not perfect. Now, the truth is none of us have gotten even close. The Bible says that we've all fallen short of God's standard of goodness. And if God is a good God, he is a just God, he has to punish sin. I mean, that makes sense. The truth is we deserve hell for our sins against God. But the good news of Jesus is that he lived the sinless life that we couldn't live and he died on the cross, the death we deserve to die for our sins against God. Huh, I never put that together before. And friend, he rose again on the third day, defeating sin and death and today he calls you to repent for your sin and put your faith in him. It's not about what you can do, but it's what Jesus has already done on your behalf.
