Most people do. However, most of us differ on the definition of “good.” The Bible says that God is good, and the Ten Commandments are His standard of goodness. So, we will look at God’s Law. With a tender conscience, ask yourself if you have obeyed the following:

1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
   (Have you always loved God above all else?)
   
   
2. You shall not make yourself an idol.
   (Have you made a god in your mind that you’re more comfortable with, a god to suit yourself?)
   
   
3. You shall not take God’s name in vain.
   (Have you ever used God’s holy Name as a cuss word?)
   
   
4. Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy.
   
   
5. Honor your father and mother.
   
   
6. You shall not murder.
   (God considers hatred to be as murder.)
   
   
7. You shall not commit adultery.
   (“Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart” — Matthew 5:27-28; this also includes sex before marriage).
   
   
8. You shall not steal.
   (Have you ever stolen anything? — the value of the item is irrelevant.)
   
   
9. You shall not lie.
   (Have you lied even once? Including answering these questions.)
   
   
10. You shall not covet.
    (Have you ever jealously desired what belongs to others?)
    
    

The Bible says that God will punish all murderers, rapists, thieves, liars, adulterers, etc. He will even judge our words and thoughts. On Judgment Day, will you be found to be guilty or innocent of breaking His commandments?
