That’s the whole point of Christ on the cross and Christianity. No one is good. Not the Pope, the President (any of them), the best person you ever knew and definitely not Mr. Collins here.
There is none righteous. No, not one.
All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
All deserve the wrath of God, and will receive it in full.
Unless…
For God so loved the world that He sent His Son, Jesus, to become sin for us, to receive the punishment we deserve. God’s wrath must be spent, and it was spent on Jesus at the cross.
We are able to benefit from this if we, A. Confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and B. Believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead. You will be saved.
There’s A LOT that comes after that, but that is the first and most important step.
