The Apostle Paul probably raised some eyebrows , not to mention people’s ire when he wrote that statement. But much like today, we like to take it for granted that most people are good people…you know the kind that have never murdered anyone, spent time in prison, or beat their dog. But just because you’re a good person, doesn’t mean you’re going to heaven. When Paul wrote that, “there is no one righteous”, he meant that there isn’t one person who in their own behavior can fully meet the expectations of God…that’s because sin is universal, and thus we all stand condemned before a just God. But this is also the reason (The Good News of the Gospel Message) that God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to take upon Himself our sins and die on the Cross, so that by trusting in Jesus we may become right before God. So remember, there’s no “good” people in heaven…only saved ones.
