Are we good people?

I always hear in Podcast that we are good people. I used to think that mankind is good but then I realized that I was wrong. The Bible has convinced me that we are in deep trouble by ourselves without the Lord Jesus.
Psalm 14 explains the truth that many will refuse the truth and we are in this camp if we reject the Bible and Jesus.
When a person reads the first verse. It says, "The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good."
There are many people that are called fools in the Bible. They will promote that there is no God in science and in the public schools. They will then say that people are good but we steal from each other. Why do we lock our cars, if everyone is good? Have you ever thought you would never do something but you do it the next day?
I love verse two and three. They say, "The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one."

God looks down on this world and sees that mankind will not seek after Him without the Holy Spirit drawing that person.
Mankind has a sinful nature that will rebel against the Lord. I am breaking the myth of the good person.
Mankind kills people all the time and we can be murders in the right case.
I love verse four to six. They say, "Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on the LordBut there they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous. You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge."
There are people that hate the ideas of God and will do what they think is right. They will target Christians and the Jews because they hate God. They don't want any part of the Lord.
The good news is that God watches over His people and He is drawing all the Jews to Jesus.
In many countries, the Muslims will hurt and damage the Christian and the ghetto are full of Christians. The good news is that God is watching over them.
I will finish with verse seven. It says, "Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!"
