Any Good People Left
Matthew 5:16, In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in Heaven.
As you undoubtedly noticed, the title of this message is a loaded question. Before you can answer this question, what standards are you using? Gods or man's.
Romans 3:23, For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Luke 6:37, DO not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.
So you see how it is. Judgement is reserved for our Creator to exercise, not us. We are the ones to be judged. How do we measure up in God's eyes? He gave us the Bible to guide us, and the Holy Spirit to help us.
We live in a world filled with other humans. Judging others is inescapable. If you have authority, you must judge those under you. We are judged by the laws of man. Do not, is an often-used term.
Don't forget that we judge others by our decisions on how we interact with them. Store owners, neighbors, friends, and the list goes on. It is impossible to live in this world without judging. So what is the answer?
1 Corinthians 15:33, Do not be deceived. Bad Company corrupts good morals.
John 7:24, Stop judging according to out word appearances; rather judge according to righteous judgement.
If you start out by looking for behavior that reflects what God thinks, you are going in the right direction. Read and use Galatians 5 22 - 23, as a guideline. But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness and self-control.
2 Timothy 3:16-17, All scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
When you look for behavior that reflects what the Bible says, you will see that there are plenty of good, God-fearing people in the world. Actions speak louder than words. Good people live a lifestyle that identifies most of them as Christians. God-fearing people, acting according to God's Word, can change the world.
John 3:16, for God so loved the world in this way. He gave His one and only Son so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
Almighty God gave His son Jesus, and Jesus gave His life so that we would be saved. do not let those sacrifices for you, be in vain. 20 minutes with God's Word every day is a tiny price to pay in order to live a life according to God's will. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus loves you.
Prayer of Salvation.
Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve Only You.
Praise the Lord!
Amen
