![]() ![]() In our text this morning, we're going to see Jesus encounter with a crowd and with His disciples, in which he gives us the answer to this question – “Are people good?” Well, the question that we have to ask is “What does God have to say about this?” Which means that almost half of evangelical Christians believe that by nature people are good. What were the results of that? 46% of people who profess to be evangelicals agreed with that statement. That's a simple statement that was given to them. And here was a statement that was given to them.Įveryone sins a little but most people are good by nature. And they were to respond to this statement by either saying that they agree with it, or they disagree with it. In many ways, when you talk to an unbeliever, you would expect them to think that they, by nature are good people, because that's what Satan wants them to believe.īut what about Christians? Do Christians believe they're good by nature? In a survey done by Ligonier Ministries called the State of Theology, a statement was given to people who called themselves, themselves, evangelical “Evangelical Christians”. And then you begin to lay the law out for them, and you ask them if, after laying the law out for them, if they are now a good person.Īnd it's still hard for them, right? To admit that they're bad because we naturally compare ourselves to the worst of the worst and then we come to the conclusion that since we're not like them, we must be good. Why will you make it to heaven? Because I'm a good person. The most common answer that you will hear is because I'm a good person. You've ever asked a person what they think and how they will make it to heaven. Many people in our world today think that they are good. Mark chapter 7 and we're going to be picking up in verse 14 and the title of this sermon this morning is What's in Your Heart. Well, this morning we're back in Mark chapter 7. ![]() Date: Sunday, JanuScripture: Mark 7:14-23 ![]()
