If the Holy Spirit resides in us, how can we then proclaim that we are not "good"? Please don't mistake me here, for I have seen many say apart from God we are by no means good, however, if we are Christians, bought by the shed blood of Christ, covered by His righteousness, you can bet we are good. We are Holy, Blessed, and empowered to do the will of God through the Holy Spirit that indwells us. He will never leave us nor forsake us, therefore, once bought with the price, Praise God, we are the tabernacle of the Holy Spirit, and to deny that we are good is to deny the promise that He will never leave us nor forsake us. However, I understand why most answers said they weren't good, the question was would you say you are a good person and many referred back to their lives prior to salvation, or at least I hope that is the case. Don't be deceived, we are good solely because we are indwelt by the Spirit of Promise. Amen.
