Jesus warned that being “good”can still lead you away from God.

Описание: That moment it hit me…
Jesus warned that being “good”
can still lead you
away from God.

Not because goodness is evil—
but because it can become a hiding place.

A man once called Him,
“Good Teacher.”
Jesus stopped him.

“Why do you call Me good?
No one is good—except God alone.”
→ (Mark 10:18)

That’s what unsettled me.

Jesus wasn’t rejecting goodness.
He was exposing confidence.

Because being “good”
can convince you
that you don’t need grace.

The Pharisee prayed,
thanked God he wasn’t like others—
and went home unchanged.
→ (Luke 18:11–14)

The tax collector beat his chest,
asked for mercy—
and was justified.

That’s when it hit me:

Goodness can build pride.
Brokenness builds dependence.

Religion teaches behavior.
Jesus demands surrender.

The rich young ruler kept the commands—
and still walked away.
→ (Mark 10:20–22)

Because morality without humility
still keeps God at a distance.

So if your faith is built on
how “good” you are…
how clean your image looks…
how right you appear—

Ask yourself this:

Are you trusting goodness…
or grace?

Type “Amen”
if you’re done relying on being good
and ready to fall on God instead.
