In a world that emphasizes individualism and autonomy, everyone has their own definition of what is good. And without even realizing it, we can also choose heteronomy, in which others tell us what’s good. Whether it is ourselves or another human being, we must consider the source and confront the possibility that our ideas of right and wrong might be flawed. In fact, Jesus tells us that “no one is good—except for God alone” (Mark 10:18). 

We often live as though we are the rulers of our own lives, deciding what is good for ourselves. Only God is truly fit to be the king of our lives because He is the ultimate source of goodness.
