All people are lost (separated from God) outside of Christ. Those who accept Christ (If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.) are redeemed. Those who reject Christ remain separated from God. "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
MK 8:35 "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for My sake and the Gospel's, the same shall save it." Live for self and you give up Eternal Life. No one has the power to give himself True Life.
John 10:10 ... "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
People are by nature evil. No one is good but God alone.
Your mother was evil by nature?
How about the people who ran towards the victims of the Boston bombings so they could help the innocent victims and rescue the wounded. Were they evil by nature? The guy in the Stetson who pushed the man in the wheelchair who had his legs blown off. Was he demonstrating that people are evil by nature when he saved a stranger's life?

If you are so sure people are by nature good, then show where God says it in the Bible.
If you've ever seen the movie where Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz are going on the vacation and she is holding the map up-side-down while trying to give directions is just a hoot watch when one realizes there is probably more truth in that one cares to admit.

Oh, I'm absolutely certain some people are good by nature. God has put them in my life over and over and over again.
Sorry. I've no need to play your game of "It Must Be In The Bible!" God gives me the blessing of real-life examples. It's awesome.
