They have all turned aside,
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.
Psalm 14:3

What makes a person good? Are you good if you are compared to God and his standard of the 10 Commandments?

I know I am not a good person. God's Law tells me that.
But to do good means to believe in the One He has sent, Jesus, the Christ. Since I believed, I have been justified by faith. This means my righteousness is not my own, but that of Christ.
I pray all those reading would also by faith opt for the Jesus OS upgrade.

Yep, I'm a good person. And God is not judgmental or intolerant. God didn't write the Psalms, you know.

No, but I am not a bad person either: I am a person who lives by the word of God (SWT), the Qu'ran, as best I can for Him and Him alone.

I am a very good person because I give love, I take care of my responsibilities with diligence and joy, I love my husband, my son, my family, my students. I listen, I learn, I help. I take care of my garden, I give to charities which help people in Africa build their farms and their lives. I drive a hybrid car and I recycle all I can.
I teach tolerance, compassion and love for all. I follow my heart.
Your passage says "there is none who does good." There is something else I have done: I have decided to think for myself when it comes to spirituality and I have turned away from the evil teachings of your bible.
I am a proud and VERY GOOD pagan Witch.
I wish you blessings in the name of our Lady Mother Earth

Excellent Question.
Since everyone knows now (even if they deny that they are not good) that we are all imperfect people, my question to you is this:
Who do you think is the most perfect example of good since everyone of us is evil?

Define good
1 Timothy 4:4
"For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving"
