| 0:00.0 | If you say, is man basically good, my first question would be compared to what? |
| 0:09.0 | If we compare the behavior of men versus demons, then we might come to the conclusion that compared |
| 0:18.0 | the demons, we're doing pretty well, that we're basically |
| 0:22.9 | good if Satan is the standard. |
| 0:25.9 | On the other hand, if the standard of goodness and the standard of righteousness is the perfection |
| 0:33.5 | of God, whose perfection is made known to us through the revelation of His law and that we look |
| 0:42.7 | into the mirror of that law and judge ourselves not against the standard of devils, not against |
| 0:49.1 | even the standard of each other, but if we analyze ourselves against the standard of divine perfection, then it would |
| 0:57.7 | be silly for us to call ourselves basically good in comparison to God and according to his law. |
