       So, while we are good in that God valued us inasmuch as he died in our place, the other side is that we are bad because of the mere fact he had to die in the first place. Another part of goodness involves what we see around us in our world, what we see our fellow human beings doing. If we can sin, that invariably means there has to be things which are offensive to the God of the Universe. It would be nice, easy, and perhaps beneficial, to some degree, in the short-term to define what is good and what is bad how I want to see it. We see people, for instance, in relationships who are of the same-sex. We see these people marry sometimes. I have personally known several people who believe in this and practice this, a couple of whom I would call friends. They are kind, upright people. It would be easy to agree that their love-interests are good too. However, God the Creator doesn’t see it that way, and so I have to decide who I want to agree with. This is true in all kinds of areas of behavior that we see in us, and in those around us.
