Believing on Jesus as your Lord and Savior is the thing that
matters most in this life. There are
many religious people who believe in heaven, and many different thoughts on how
to get there. Many people believe that
they are "good" enough to go to heaven when they die. But how good is "good enough"? (Revelation
21:8) But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the
sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all
liars--they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the
second death." Wait! Unbelieving and liars are listed with murders? How
good is good enough? There's a huge range between what we think of as "good".
There is no such thing as, "good enough", (Romans 3:23) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
(Ephesians 2:8) "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God".
(Mark 16:16) "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned".
(Romans 8:3) "What the law was powerless to do ...God did by sending his own Son ...to be a sin offering ...in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us".
