Recently, I heard somebody say “It’s hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys.” And I thought to myself, “Then, you only have bad guys.”
Because “good guys” don’t happen by accident.
Matter of fact, there really aren’t ANY good guys. Allow me to explain…
Do you know the difference between good guys and bad guys? Is it the hat they wear? Or their clothes? Is it the cool weapons they use? Or maybe the car or space ship they drive? Nope, nope, and nope. It’s none of those things.
Good guys aren’t always good. And bad guys aren’t always bad. But you still gotta know the TRUE difference because you’re gonna have to choose which one you’ll be.
First, you gotta know what determines whether something or someone is good or bad. And I’ll let you in on a little (not little) secret. It’s not a “what.” It’s Who.
Nobody on earth gets to make up what’s good and bad.
Only God gets to do that.
He says something is good because it’s good for you. Something is good when it helps you. And when it helps you to help others. And something is bad when it hurts you and hurts others. Really bad things can cause people to die. And God hates that. So, He made some rules so we’d know how things are supposed to work. And He did it for our own good, because He loves us. Not because He doesn’t want us to have any fun. God knows what’s good for us better than we do. After all…He made us.
So, do you wanna be one of the good guys?
Then, it’s a good idea to find out what God says.
Don’t worry about being good every minute of every day. God knows you can’t do it. That’s why He sent Jesus. Because Jesus could do it. And Jesus lived a perfect life and paid the way for you to live forever. Imagine this. You can go to Heaven and live forever. And all you gotta do is trust that Jesus will get you there.
The really, really bad guys…the ones who don’t want to trust and love Jesus…don’t go to Heaven. And that’s their choice. God doesn’t want them to choose that way. But He won’t force them to choose His way. Because He knows that wouldn’t be true love.
So, now you understand the difference. Right? If not, let me know what you don’t understand. I’ll see what I can do to help.
The world if full of good guys and bad guys.
Sometimes if feels like bad guys win the most.
But you can be a good guy, a winner…
You’ve got the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
They’re never gonna leave or forget you.
They wanna live, forever, in your heart.
Then, you’ll always be one of the good guys.
And God will keep the bad guys far apart.
