Do you believe you are a good person?

Question

If so, what is the standard you use to judge yourself as good

Answer 1

I am not a good person, I am a sinner. The notion that all people are basically good is false. We are all sinners and we all need Jesus.

Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Rom 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Rom 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Rom 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
Rom 3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
Rom 3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
Rom 3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
Rom 3:17 And the way of peace have they not known:
Rom 3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Rom 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Rom 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Also, it is not by doing good things or trying to be good people that we receive our salvation, it is by God's grace through faith in him.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Answer 2

I believe I am a good person, I am a good mom and a good wife.

I appreciate what I have and I strive to work hard for what I want.

I never think anyone is purposely trying to hurt my feelings and it helps me deal with people who hurt me.

I always solve a problem by asking good what he has to say about me and how am I wrong, disregarding how anyone else might be wrong, just how I am wrong, and how I can fix what I think, feel and react.

I am also full of flaws and I am aware of that. I don't think I am smarter then anyone, or better looking. I always know that I am equal and that there is always something I can learn from someone and something someone can learn from me.

I believe that I try to be the best I can everyday. Do I sometimes fail? Absolutely, but I'm trying. It does not matter what I say because being good is relative, someone might think I'm good and someone else might think I'm a scumbag. I just try to do whats right and I don't care what people think.
