Good People Don't Go To Heaven, Forgiven People Do - Audio

Is being a good person enough to make you right with God? In the final week of TRUish, Pastor JC Worley exposes the danger of moralism—the belief that being good makes us right with God. While there is nothing wrong with doing good, our goodness can never earn salvation because God's standard isn't our goodness compared to other people; it's His perfect holiness. The good news is that we don't have to earn what Jesus has already done for us. Salvation is received through faith, not achieved through good works. Through the story of the criminal who encountered Jesus on the cross, we see that God's grace is available even when we have nothing to offer except faith. Relativism says I decide what's true. Emotionalism says my feelings decide what's true. Mysticism says my experiences decide what's true. Moralism says my goodness makes me right with God. But the Gospel gives us a different answer: salvation isn't built on what we believe, feel, experience, or do. Salvation is built on Jesus.
