Good People

So I was sitting in church this morning and something was said that I didn't agree with so here's my little rant. :)

"No one is good but God alone."

There are no 'good' people. Everything about me that could be considered good comes, not from myself, but from Christ. That is the difference between being 'good' and being redeemed. I am, beyond all doubt, on my own without God, a pig rolling around in the mud of sin. But God looked down, found me in the mud, and washed me clean. It was not me who did anything to make myself 'good'.

It's not about me, but Christ in me.
