If you claim that you’re a good person, then you’re simply affirming what the Bible says…
(Proverbs 21:2)
“Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.”
(Proverbs 16:2)
“All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.”
(Proverbs 16:25)
“There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
(Proverb 30:12)
“There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.”
(Jer 2:22)
“For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me,
saith the Lord GOD.”
(1 Samuel 16:7)
“But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature;
because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward
appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”
(Luke 18:9-11)
“And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous,
and despised others:
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are,
extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.”
(Luke 16:15)
“And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts:
for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.”
