And a ruler asked him, " Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.'"
What does Jesus mean by "No one is good except God alone"? Jesus is God so why does he use such sentence?
In Luke 18:18-20, when Jesus says, "No one is good except God alone,"
He highlights the distinction between divine and human righteousness.
This emphasizes that ultimate goodness resides in God, prompting deeper reflection on what it means to follow Him and attain eternal life.
