Are People Basically Good?: Ultimately with R.C. Sproul

Summary

This sermon challenges the common belief, influenced by humanism and even held by some Christians, that people are fundamentally good. Citing Romans 3 and Jesus' interaction with the rich man in Matthew 19, it argues that our self-judgment is faulty, often relying on relative comparisons rather than God's perfect standard. The practical takeaway is that only by contemplating God's character can we realize our true imperfection and the need for repentance.
