Good Morning.

I was speaking with a family friend yesterday. The friend could not accept that all men were not good. I specifically said, evil. I said that all of us are by nature evil. The friend would not accept this.

Matthew 19:16-22

Mat 19:16-22 KJV Ҧ And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

17. And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

18. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

19. Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

20. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

21. Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

22. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.”

If we think we are good and other men are evil then we put ourselves into the position of believing that our actions will bring our salvation. Some would say that we are self sovereign. We are not. We are through the blood of Jesus Christ sanctified and forgiven but our carnal bodies are evil and we will lose them eventually.

Romans 6:20-23

Rom 6:20-23 KJV “For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

21. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

22. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

23. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Us in Bitcoin might think that our treasure does not rust, moths corrupt and thieves can steal but our corpse is that which will be taken and the treasure is no good which is obfuscated, hidden, stolen or worshipped. In spiritual misery without Christ we lose anyway.

Matthew 6:19-21

Mat 6:19-21 KJV Ҧ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also...”
