GOOD ENOUGH ?...

Do you think you`re good enough to go to heaven?
Have you kept all the commandments of God?(Deut 5)
Let`s see then as I take you through some:
Have you ever told a lie?(Rev 21:8)"...all liars shall have their part in the lake of fire"
Have you ever taken anything that was not yours, regardless of value? (Zech 5:3) "...every thief will be banished" You may also note it says the same about liars.
Have you ever looked at another with sexual desire? (Mat 5:28) Jesus speaking "But I say to you, whosoever looks with lust, has committed adultery in the heart"
Have you ever hated someone?(Mat 5:22) Jesus also said who ever is angry at his brother, is in danger of judgment... (to say) you fool, is in danger of hell fire.

If you answered yes to all the above, in honest conscience you admit to being a liar,thief,adulterer and a murderer at heart. God judges the motives of our heart and the action of those motives, Weather known or in secret. (Ecc 12:14) Did you know the word heart is mentioned 833 times in the Bible (KJV), Love is mentioned 522 times fewer. You may be relying on Gods love but he`s looking at your heart.

Would God find you innocent or guilty of breaking his commands? If you answered yes to even one of the four commandments above and consider the other six, God would most certainly have to find you guilty because he is holy and just.
From this judgment, would he send you to heaven or hell? If you answered hell you are correct, you an I and everyone else will end up in hell! (Rom 3:23) " For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"(Rom 6:23) "The wages of sin is death" = Eternal separation from God in the lake of fire (Rev 20:15) If going to hell for eternity concerns you, it should. If you have not come to God for forgiveness and repented of your sins and turned to the Christ of the Bible, that's where you will end up,HELL!


So, what did Jesus do for you in order that you would not have to suffer the wrath of Almighty God?
He died for all those that would believe in his final,Holy sacrifice - Heb 10:11,12.
He redeemed fallen sinners - 1 Jn 4:10.
He died as a Ransom for his people - Mt 20:28, 1 tm 2:5,6.
He reconciled us to God - Heb 2:17, Rom 5:10.
He justified sinners(imputed righteousness) - Isa 53:11, Acts 13:38,39, Rom 3:23-24.
He sanctified us (set us apart) for holy use - Heb 10:10 and 2:11.
He is the propitiation of our sin - Rom 3:25.
He perfected us forever - Heb 10:14.
He did this for all of those who would believe on him. - Jn 3:16-18" For God so love the world that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.18 He that believes on him is not condemned:but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God."

God gives us the free gift of eternal life by faith in believing that Christ came to be the final, holy sacrifice, to defeat sin and death and suffered the wrath of God in our place. We cant earn it, nor do we deserve it, but God gives it to us as a gift for our trust in Jesus Christ.
Why, because he loves us - Rom 5:8 "He commanded his love for us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Rom 5:18 "Therefore as through one mans offense, judgment came to all men, Even so through one mans righteous act, the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life." Rom 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death,but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

So what do you do now? Nothing. Unless God himself has worked in your heart and made you aware of just how offensive your thoughts and actions are to him and changed your desire towards sin, That the sin you once loved you now hate,there is nothing you can do.
But, If he has, then Repent of your sins,believe in his work at the cross, His death and his ressurection and cry out to him for forgiveness and confess him as Lord. In other words, Stop sinning and hang your life on every word of the bible. It is your belief in him that saves you, but your belief must result in action, evidence of a converted heart, being born again. It must show forth its fruit in response to what you now believe. If not you believe in vain.

So, Believe - Rom 10:11,13 "Whoever believes on him will not be put to shame" for "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Rom 10:9,10 "If you confess with your mouth that Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you shall be saved.For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." And don't forget what Jesus said in John 14:6"I am the way ,the truth and the life.No one comes to the father except through me." Will you believe in Jesus Christ ?
