Reasoning - I consider myself a ‘good person’… won’t that be enough?
- Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
- Romans 3:10 - As it is written: “There is none righteous, not even one;
- Romans 5:12 - Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned
Reasoning - Is sin really that big of a deal? If it is... what hope is there?
- Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin [is] death, but the gift of God [is] eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Disobedience to an infinite eternal God deserves an infinite eternal consequence. God shows us His character and his laws in his creation, the world around us. He has also written his laws in our hearts. On our conscience. He has also given us his WORD the Bible. No good judge would let the guilty go free, the criminal go unpunished. Neither can a holy righteous God allow sinful man to go unpunished, but God LOVES man whom he has made in his image and He has provided a way of escape by sending his only son to die in our place
Reasoning - After what I’ve done to grieve God, How could He willingly die in my place?
- Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John3:16
While he died on the cross, he was mocked, spit upon, and cursed. Yet Jesus cried out, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do...” (Luke 23:34) With such love, Jesus died in your place... knowing every evil act, word, and thought you would commit. What powerful love! He loves you unconditionally even to the point of death when you are at your worst!

Reasoning - If we can't make ourselves good enough in God's sight, what can I do?
- Romans 10:9-10 - "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation."
- Romans 10:13 - "for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
