“… the church of Jesus Christ is not made up of good people, it’s made up of bad people. It’s not made up of people who think they’re righteous, it’s made up of people who know they’re not. It’s not made up of people who have attained to a certain acceptable degree with God; it’s made up of people who know they could never attain to an acceptable place before God. It’s not made up of people who think they’re good; it’s made up of people who know they’re wicked. It’s not made up of people who have achieved righteousness on their own; it’s made up of people who have received righteousness from God as a gift. This is the Gospel.”
By John MacArthur [The Scandal of Grace]

Great quote, Cindy.
So … Does that mean if someone believes they’re righteous, good enough, etc. they’re possibly not, in fact a true believer? 🤔

I don’t know about that. I only know that if a person thinks you earn your way to Heaven, they haven’t heard the Gospel! Blessings, Annie!
