About This Quote
So a good man can be a bad Christian?""I suppose so.""Then a bad man," I said, "can be a good Christian? The question was asked by one of the greatest men that the world has ever known, Nicodemus in John chapter 3, verse 1. He also was a great Greek philosopher. Nicodemus is asking Jesus this question. What was Jesus’ answer? "If anyone is a good man and does not keep all the commandments of the Lord, he is a sinner. And if anyone is a bad man and keeps all the commandments of the Lord, he is a righteous man."
