“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
–Romans 3:10-12
No man is good: the Bible is VERY clear on that point.
BUT one lie which Satan never grows tired of telling man is “You are a good guy! Seriously, you are a good person!”
And so man–naturally vain, greatly deceived, naturally to desire he is good–believes Satan’s lie that he is good.
Even mass murderers believe themselves to be better than some, not as bad as others.
But ALL men need a savior: no one can do it on their own, regardless of what Satan may say.
ALL men are lost; NONE are good.
“There is none that doeth good.”
“No, not one.”
ALL men are lost: “there is none that doeth good, no not one.”
ALL men need the mercy and grace of God Almighty.
It was for this purpose Jesus Christ died for the sins of ALL mankind; i.e., the wicked: to provide a way to the Father.
“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.”
–Ephesians 2:1-7
Man is lost from birth.
ALL one requires for salvation is faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Some of the wicked may believe they are BEYOND redemption, but that is not true: ALL men are wicked; ALL men are lost before they come to Jesus Christ.
Some of the wicked may believe they are good, but that is not true: ALL men are wicked; ALL men are lost before they come to Jesus Christ.
There is NONE good–and even the wicked need a savior.
Particularly the wicked.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
