A common misconception is that God judges us on the overall balance of good and evil works. (You'll find this in your children, too, if you pay attention.) You can assume it's an assumption that many of your students will have, perhaps without being aware of it.
Even one sin condemns us, apart from the saving work of Jesus Christ.
Ray Ortlund uses the story of Benedict Arnold to illustrate our need for Christ.
This is a good illustration for some audiences who know Benedict Arnold. Worldwide, you may need to think of over examples of men or women who did a lot of good things but are remembered for singular evil deeds.
