Are You a Good Person?



Full text of gospel tract:

STEP 1: Read these stories and decide what you would do

You’re walking down the hall when a $20 bill falls to the floor at your feet. Looking up, you realize that “Mr. Money Bags” is in front of you digging through his pockets. He already has everything: will he ever miss twenty dollars?

What would you do?

Take the money and run: 0 points
Donate it to a charity: 2 points
Give the money back: 4 points
Uh-oh. You forgot about today’s math test and did not study. Luckily, you sit beside “Miss Know-It-All” and her answers are just begging to be looked at. Your teacher walks out of the room. Here’s your chance to “borrow” some answers.

What would you do?

Copy the whole test: 0 points
Use a few answers: 2 points
Do your own work: 4 points
The school bully is walking through the cafeteria with a tray full of chili and pudding. He is about to walk past you when you notice the backpack in his path. If he trips over it, things will get very messy. You have to act fast.

What would you do?

Grab your camera: 0 points
Yell “Look out!”: 2 points
Move the backpack: 4 points

STEP 2: Add up your points

If your total score is …

4 points or less:
You should really try harder.
6 or 8 points:
A good score, but it could be better.
10 points or more:
Way to go! You are a very good person.

STEP 3: Good enough?

Are you a good person? Based on your score, you might feel pretty good about yourself. But what does God think? After all, God is the one who decides what is right and what is wrong. What does God say?
“There is none righteous, no, not one.” “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:10,23).
God, who sees everything we do and knows everything we think, has plainly said that none of us are good enough to enter Heaven and live with Him forever. No matter how many good things we do, our sin (the bad things we do) keeps us away from God, and will keep us out of Heaven.
But God has a way for us to be made perfect in His sight! When God’s Son, Jesus, suffered and died on Calvary’s cross, He paid the price that our sins deserve. God was so happy with that perfect and complete payment that He raised Jesus from the dead.
What do you have to do to go to Heaven? First, you have to realize that your sin separates you from God. Then you must accept God’s way of salvation, trusting Jesus Christ as your Savior. He will wash your sins away, make you perfect in His sight, and promise you an eternal home in Heaven.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
