GOODNESS SCALE

Let’s look at it this way. If we place a scale on the wall behind me, with bad being at the bottom and good being at the top, where would you place yourself? We could place Hitler near the bottom, and Billy Graham closer to the top, right? My guess is all of us place ourselves somewhere between those two. I mean, who doesn’t look good next to Hitler? Where would we place God himself? We would place God in the upper atmosphere. See our goodness when compared to each other can look pretty good, but when compared to God, it is rather insignificant. ONLY GOD IS GOOD.
