No one comes to the Father (God) except through me. The Bible states: “I (Jesus) am the way and the truth and the life. The Bible states: “There is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.” (Ecclesiastes 7:20) The Bible also states: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) And finally, think about this, if your goodness could save you, Jesus would have died in vain (i.e., for no good reason). However, because God is “good” he must by nature punish sinners (i.e., God would not be a good judge if he let criminals go free).
They further hope that because God is “good” he will let them go unpunished and enter heaven. Today, repent (turn away from your sins), put your complete trust in Jesus, and confess Jesus as your Lord & Savior… and God will give you eternal life as a free gift.Ĭontrary to popular belief, being a “good person”, doing “good deeds”, or being “religious” will not get you a ticket to heaven! Many people are hoping God will dismiss their sins because their good deeds outweigh their bad deeds. This means that God can legally dismiss their case (and yours!): “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Sinners broke God’s Law, but Jesus paid their fine by shedding His sinless blood on a cross ~2,000 years ago. But, there is “good news”! God is not willing that any should perish. And the Bible warns that on the Day of Judgment, God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. And this is only 5 of God’s Ten Commandments (a/k/a “God’s Law”). If you have done these things, God sees you as a liar, a thief, a blasphemer, an adulterer-at-heart, and a murderer-at-heart. Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test:
