No one can be "good enough" – if even one could, then Christ died for nothing

The bottom line is this: if we try to live by the Law, God will let us and we will fail. The ones who never heard of Christ or the Law will be judged by the law written in their hearts. The ones who are in Christ Jesus are free from the Law.

Only God is good. The fruits are His not ours. The light is His not ours. But if anyone wants to try to do good by his own efforts, He'll let him and he will fail because of the Law.

Amen, A-G! Enough meat for a Sunday sermon! 8~)

"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." -- 2 Corinthians 5:21
