  • Are You A Good Person?

  • Featuring Mr. Nice Guy

  • Meet Mr. Nice Guy.

  • You think you are nice?

  • This guy is REALLY nice.

  • Mr. Nice Guy: Well, I try to do what is right.

  • He is so nice that if good people get to Heaven,

  • he will be the first in line!

  • Mr. Nice Guy: Aw, shucks.

  • So, Mr. Nice Guy, have you kept the Ten Commandments?

  • Mr. Nice Guy: Pretty much.

  • Do you mind if we take a look at them and maybe see how nice you really are?

  • Mr. Nice Guy: Uh...Okay.

  • Great! Here is one: “You shall not lie.”

  • Mr. Nice Guy, have you ever told a lie?

  • Mr. Nice Guy: Well, yeah. Who has not?

  • What do you call somebody who tells lies?

  • Mr. Nice Guy: A liar.

  • Alright. How about another commandment?

  • You shall not steal.”

  • Have you ever stolen anything, even once?

  • Mr. Nice Guy: Nope!

  • But... you just told me you are a liar.

  • Mr. Nice Guy: Well, I did steal some candy once when I was a kid.

  • And what do you call someone who steals?

  • Mr. Nice Guy: A thief.

  • Alright. Let us try another one.

  • You shall not commit adultery.”

  • Oh, that is easy. I would never cheat on my wife.

  • [Music]

  • Woman: Hi handsome.

  • Mr. Nice Guy: Oh baby!

  • [Narrator clears throat]

  • Jesus said if you even look at a woman with lust,

  • you have already committed adultery with her in your heart.

  • Mr. Nice Guy: Oh...um, right.

  • One more.

  • You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.”

  • Have you ever used God’s name to curse?

  • [Car crashes]

  • Mr. Nice Guy: Oh my (beep)!

  • That, Mr. Nice Guy is called blasphemy.

  • God gave you life and breath and everything you have!

  • And you have dragged His name through the dirt.

  • So, by your own admission...

  • ...you are a liar, a thief, a blasphemer, and an adulterer at heart.

  • And that is just four of the Ten Commandments.

  • Mr. Nice Guy: Okay okay, so I am not perfect.

  • Actually, it is worse than that.

  • Suppose we could put a chip in your brain that would record all your private thoughts

  • for an entire week and then play those thoughts on a giant movie screen

  • for all your friends and family to see.

  • [Woman faints]

  • Mr. Nice Guy: That would be embarrassing!

  • Yeah, I know.

  • The Bible says God knows everything, even the secret thoughts of your heart.

  • Mr. Nice Guy: Well...

  • [Scribbles on chalk board]

  • ...compared to some people I am a saint.

  • [Heavenly choir sings]

  • That is true. But the standard is God’s law, not other people.

  • [Chalkboard crashes]

  • [Light bulb fails]

  • Besides, even if you sinned just five times a day

  • in one year... that is one thousand eight hundred and twenty-five (1825) sins.

  • And if you live to be seventy years old...

  • ...you will have broken God’s law over one hundred and twenty-seven thousand (127000) times!

  • You will have to answer for every sin on Judgement Day,

  • when the Bible says, “Each of us will give an account of himself to God (Romans 14:12).”

  • [Mr. Nice Guy gulps]

  • Mr. Nice Guy: But... God will forgive me. Right?

  • Well, let us try that in court.

  • Criminal: I know I keep breaking the law, but can you, you know, let it slide?

  • Only a corrupt judge would buy (do) that.

  • A GOOD judge would say...

  • [Slams his gavel]

  • Good Judge: Justice demands that you pay for your crimes.

  • [Criminal gulps]

  • God is not a corrupt judge.

  • He is a holy, righteous judge.

  • He hates sin!

  • Jesus warned that on Judgement Day,

  • everyone who had sinned against God

  • will justly end up in a terrible place called Hell.

  • [People screaming]

  • And there will be no escape for all eternity.

  • Mr. Nice Guy: Well, then, how can ANYBODY get to Heaven?

  • There is only one way.

  • God loved the world so much

  • that He sent His Son, Jesus,

  • to live a perfect life.

  • He never sinned, not even once.

  • Then, Jesus offered to take the punishment for guilty sinners.

  • He was whipped,

  • and beaten...

  • ...and nailed to a cross, and died.

  • so that justice would be served and sinners could go free!

  • Then, Jesus rose from the grave

  • and defeated death!

  • You can not earn eternal life.

  • It is God’s gift...

  • ...to everyone who will humble themselves and come to Jesus.

  • He will forgive you,

  • [Shackles fall]

  • wash you clean,

  • and give you a new heart with new desires

  • The Bible says, “...if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).”

  • So stop living for yourself.

  • Turn from your sins and come to Jesus.

  • Then, read your Bible and obey it.

  • Find a good church to help you grow.

  • And then go out and tell other people the good news!
