God, like all lawgivers, requires nothing less than moral perfection. That's why we need a Savior. There is a second point of misunderstanding, and Christians are at fault here. We say yes, but the real answer is no. Good people aren't lost, so they don't need a savior.
Good people are safe, but sinners are in deep trouble.
Recognizing my voice from my past participation on a radio show, he wanted to get a clear understanding of why he, a Jew, needed Jesus. Now look at our situation. We both believe people who commit moral crimes should be punished, and we both believe we're guilty of moral crimes. I waited a moment for it to sink in. I call that bad news.
