Consider by your own standards, yes. But God's standards not at all. What are His standards? The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17). It's not a question of whether this exist, because this is what our country was based upon. But a question of "since therse standards are real and is given by God, am I living up to them? Consider that if you break one, you have broken them all. It just takes one time. So, still think you're a good person?

I am but of dirt. Stepped on throughout life until GOD lifts and separates.
I am a sinner even though I love the LORD and being a kind person(some of the time) is no match for his kindness.
Change is always necessary.

I think that is true in most cases. We all feel we are good people according to our standards. Our standards are not God's standard. Even Jesus didn't consider himself a good person. When a person called him good master, he replied that none was good except God which is in Heaven.
So in human thinking we are all good. In God's thinking our righteousness are as filthy rags. There is none good, no not one.

All my righteousness is as filthy rags. There is no good in me, cause of this flesh. Paul said it best when he wrote Romans 7:15-24. The only thing good about me is I am saved.

I'm with you. God obviously thinks that mankind is the lowest, sickest kind of scum imaginable. And God has a pretty good imagination.

By my standards, I try, usually succeed, sometimes fail. And I could care less about mythological standards.

No-one on earth could come up to his standards (if he existed) because there's no such thing as a perfect person.

I'm good enough for my own standards, and I'm not particularly concerned what standards have been attributed to your imaginary friend.
