We Are Not Naturally Good…

Regardless of what you hear or see on the news. Regardless of what you read on the Internet. Regardless of what you hear from the world, man’s nature is sinful. He is not good. We are not naturally good. Our nature is to rebel, to do things “our way”. Think about it, did anyone teach you how to throw a temper tantrum when you were a kid? Or did you have someone teach you how to lie? Cheat? Steal? Hate? Of course not. Our nature is a rebellious one, a selfish, self-centered, “me focused” agenda that either puts God on the back burner or abandons Him all together. We are born with this nature; we are not good. This “critical theory” message being spread right now is a deceptive lie. Man is not good, left on his own he will not be good, and a utopian society isn’t even possible. This is the very reason Jesus died on the cross, because we can’t rescue ourselves. Man cannot forgive his own sin. He needs a Savior. Stop listening to the “world”, it will only dig you a deeper pit that’s inescapable. The Christian worldview clearly explains man’s true nature. Look around, is man good? It’s only a Christian world view that gives us the solution to the problem. Need I say more. Don’t be deceived. God loves us more than you’ll ever know. Don’t turn your back on the only real God in the universe. We were made for something more, and eternity has been placed in our hearts to prove it.

22 When I led your ancestors out of Egypt, it was not burnt offerings and sacrifices I wanted from them. 23 This is what I told them: ‘Obey Me, and I will be your God, and you will be My people. Do everything as I say, and all will be well!’24 “But My people would not listen to Me. They kept doing whatever they wanted, following the stubborn desires of their evil hearts. They went backward instead of forward. 25 From the day your ancestors left Egypt until now, I have continued to send My servants, the prophets–day in and day out. 26 But My people have not listened to Me or even tried to hear. They have been stubborn and sinful–even worse than their ancestors. Jeremiah 7:22-26
