John 14:6

Imagine you had an invisible recorder around your neck and all of your life, all it ever did was record whenever you said to somebody else you ought. It only ever recorded when you told somebody else how they ought to live. In other words, it only recorded your own moral standards, the moral standards that you imposed on other people. It didn't record anything else but what you believe was right or wrong. And what Schaeffer says is what God can do on judgment day is he'll stand in front of people and he'll say, 'Look, you never heard about Jesus Christ or you never heard about or read the Bible. Hey, I'm a fair-minded God. Let me show you what I'm going to judge you by. And then he takes that little recorder off from around their necks, which they didn't know was there, and he says, "I'm going to judge you by your own moral standards." And he plays it. And Schaeffer says there's not a person on the face of the earth that will be able to pass that test.

Paul speaks about this. How the law did not make people righteous or good. It was only given because of offenses because people were in the flesh, which means they lived for their own senses. That is why they were told they needed to be born again and that by the spirit of the living God. Not the one that sits on a throne far away but the one in your heart. Do unto others as you would have done unto you is the law and the prophets all rolled into one easy step. So what good was it at that time that they followed the letter of the law? But that even gentiles understood the law of doing unto others but the priests did not.

YOU would NOT have even been alive to commit those sins were it not for 'grace' and Isaiah 45:7. Are you created or made? Lemme 'know'.

Fortunately, I don’t have to pass that test because Jesus passed it for me at the cross, where by a single sacrifice, for ALL TIME, He has perfected ALL who are being sanctified (Hebrews 10:14) My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought, My sin not in part but the WHOLE, Is nailed to the cross and I bear it NO MORE!! Bless the Lord, Bless the Lord Oh, my soul. There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Emmanuel’s veins. And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose ALL their guilty stains.

Lacking an attribution again, Stefan. Whom are we reading, please, and in what context?
