    No One Is Truly Righteous: What the Bible Means When It Says No One Is Serious

    Can human beings be serious? Have you ever met someone who was serious in all his actions and deeds — not someone who merely claims to be serious, or who is serious only by profession, but someone who is truly serious in everything he does?

    No. Such a person does not exist. No human being is serious in this complete sense. No human being is inherently good; no human being is inherently righteous. Taking the Bible seriously is what makes a person righteous before God.

    1. Can Humans Be Serious?

    In our society, many people claim to be serious, yet which verse in the Bible tells us that human beings are serious? There is not one. The Bible tells us that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. It tells us there is none righteous, no, not one. Jesus said, “Without Me you can do nothing.” So we can conclude that when a man says he is serious, he is mistaken — for God says there is none who is, and the human claim to the contrary is what’s wrong. Our end time bible prophecy videos tell us that humans who claim to be serious only do so because they compare themselves to society, and not to God.

    2. Can Humans Be Good Without God?

    Can a human being be good without God? No. The Bible says that the only way we can receive righteousness is by faith, from God. No human has any goodness of their own. Any good a person displays is power received from God — and God can withdraw this amazing gift, called righteousness by faith, at any time.

    We see that even the best men of the Bible did wrong. The best men of the Bible sinned. How much more, then, do regular people, who are not close to God, fall short? The Bible says, “If the righteous scarcely be saved, what shall be the end of the sinner?” If people who seek God often, and who help and love others, are saved only by a narrow margin, what will happen to people who never seek God at all? Only God is good, and all humans, apart from Him, are as an unclean thing. We have all gone astray.

    3. Can Humans Create Holiness?

    No human being can create holiness. Yet many people claim to be good — why? Because they compare themselves with society and others. The Bible tells us that our generation is not walking with God. It says, “Save yourselves from this untoward generation.” Our generation is not right with God.

    People can make up their own morality, but it falls far short of reaching God’s standard. What does God love? God loves humility, peace, kindness, gentleness, a loving heart, a merciful spirit, and a person who loves all people. This is what God wants — for you to love others and love God. Love everybody, no matter where they come from. Do not draw lines of class or distinction. God wants you to love even those who are different from you.

    4. Can Humans Teach God Anything?

    Human beings cannot teach God anything. All inventions, God knew and prepared for men to find them in advance, to help humanity go forward. God put wood and stones in the earth to make houses. God put iron in the earth to make tools. God knew in advance, and prepared food, so that men could enjoy life and health. God is never taken by surprise. In fact, end time bible prophecy videos show us that God knew many things in advance, often long before the events occurred — sometimes thousands of years before they came to pass. We can trust God, a loving and kind God who really cares for you and thinks about you all the time.

    5. Can Humans Judge God?

    Human beings cannot judge God, since human beings are here to seek the truth, not to invent it. When people believe something very strongly, they end up believing it so strongly that they mistake their own opinion for truth. One’s opinions can become so strong that they end up rejecting plain Bible truth.

    Many human beings believe they can judge the Bible and judge God. This is not true. God made us all, and God will bring all our deeds, thoughts, and actions into judgment. But the good news is that if you have repented of them, they are forgotten — sent to the bottom of the sea, never to be found again. God forgives, and God forgets. God really loves and cares for you.

    What is keeping you now from accepting Jesus into your heart?

    Repeat after me: Father God, thank You for Your love and kindness. I pray that You bless me and make me happy. Heal me and all those near me. I pray that You give me my heart’s desires, provide for all my needs in great abundance, and bring me into all truth, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

    How to Be Ready When Jesus Returns: 5 Bible Truths About Righteousness by Faith

    What will soon happen on earth? Jesus said that we need to pray to be found worthy to escape all that is coming on earth. This means that a lot of things are coming on earth.

    Luke 21:36 — “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

    Can Jesus protect you from the terrible judgments that are soon to fall? Yes. How can you know if you are in Jesus? How can you be safe when all kinds of judgments fall? In the end time, God’s people will love God and love others. Jesus loves you so much; Jesus thinks about you all the time. Jesus really cares for your soul. Let us look at five Bible truths about how to be ready when Jesus returns.

    1. Spend Time with Jesus

    If you want Jesus to protect you, you need to know Him and be His friend. Before that, you need to see that evolution is not true — things do not appear from nothing, out of nowhere, for no reason, as all things that exist need to be planned.

    To be kept by Jesus is a call God makes on you. But first, you need to know how amazing God is. God is so kind, loving, humble, honest, and sincere. God really cares a lot for you. You are unique and very special in His eyes; nobody can replace you. Being ready for Jesus’ return starts with a relationship with Him, because God loves you so much, and this gives birth to love for Him. From there, you can develop a relationship with Him.

    2. Help Others Know Jesus

    To be kept by Jesus when trouble comes, as you love God, you see that others are made in the image of God, and you love them also. To grow your relationship with Jesus, prayer and reading the Bible often — at least every day — is how you talk to God and He talks to you. Without this, you can lose that friendship if you do not talk to God often.

    As you seek God, God comes close to you, God reveals Himself to you, and you have a precious, close, loving relationship. The revelation of the love of Jesus will be the last message given on earth. It will be the loud cry, found in the message of the fourth angel in Revelation 18. Loving God and others comes by faith. It is not natural to the human heart to love, as we are naturally selfish. God gives a special power called righteousness by faith. This power gives you God’s righteousness, since humans do not have any righteousness of their own.

    3. Righteousness by Faith

    This power is the great secret of Christianity. Without righteousness by faith, all religious people are legalists — and evil, as they cannot change their own heart. Sadly, they spend all their life seeking to become better, knowing deep inside that they are not good. Nobody can create goodness. Nobody can become good without God. Only God has righteousness — as Daniel says, to us belongs confusion of face.

    “Without Me you can do nothing,” Jesus says. The last group of people will receive the seal of God and give this last message, called the fourth angel’s message of Revelation 18 — the loud cry. This comes after the three angels’ message. It is the last message given to human beings.

    Righteousness by faith is a human being realizing there is nothing good in himself, and seeking God for help. Being a Pharisee is claiming to be good and not needing Jesus, and denying the death of Jesus on the cross.

    4. Watch and Be Ready

    The Bible says that God loves us, but for us to be able to go to heaven, God needs to be able to trust us, to see if we will be safe enough to bring to heaven. Those who make it to heaven will be very happy. But trouble is coming on earth, with God allowing people He loves to be shaken so they wake up to the danger of missing eternal life and eternal happiness.

    Now is the time to seek God, as time is running out. You can choose not to spend time with God, or you can let Him come close to you. The protection of God will be with you as the events spoken of in Revelation unfold and you see them happen in real life. Soon it will be too late to follow Jesus and be shielded by His love and His feathers of protection.

    5. Saved at Last

    Will you be happy if you make it to heaven? Over there, there will be no more tears, no more pain, no more suffering. You will have eternal bliss, happiness, and joy. You will never be parted from the love of God and His gentle presence. You can live with God forever. Is that what you will choose?

    How long will time last? We do not know, but we know that time will not last much longer. Are you ready for Jesus to come? Are you ready for the end of the world? You can be found in heaven and live happily forever. The choice belongs to you — what choice will you make?
