And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.  

Mark 7:28

From our Gracious God, even the crumbs are most plentiful and abundantly enough - and how much more does He always shower us with?

Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me.  Psalm 103:2

live a good life?

Because it is not about how you live your life -

it is about Him living the perfect life, and sacrificing that perfect life to pay for the debt and punishment we all have incurred by sin.  You cannot live a good life, neither can I...though I thought I had....
Glad He did.  Do you know Him?
Romans 3:23  "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 6:23a  "...The wages of sin is death..."

Romans 6:23b  "...But the gift of God is eternal

life through Jesus Christ our Lord." 

Romans 5:8,  "God demonstrates His own love for us, in

that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us!"

Romans 10:13  "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord  will be saved!"  

Romans 10:9,10  "...If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting  in salvation." 

the foolish and the powerless

..God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those those who think they are wise.  And He chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful......so that no man can ever boast in the presence of God.
1 corinthians 1:27, 29
