[QUOTE="angelique48033, post: 2663250, member: 560194"] Nothing that we as humanity could ever do would be good enough in a hundred million eternities to be "GOOD ENOUGH" to go to Heaven. Jesus came and laid down His life, as the perfect PASSOVER LAMB to pay the penalty for our sins on the cross, because He was and is the ONLY One Who could. One is only saved IF and When they personally ask Jesus to come into their life and save them, based ONLY on what He has done for them on the cross..........and NOTHING else............ It is GOOD to be "GOOD".....as long as one KNOWS that they can NEVER be "GOOD ENOUGH" to become RIGHTEOUS before God........That is NOT going to happen............ It is the pride of fallen mankind, deceived by satan and Religion, that believes that man can ever be good enough for Heaven by their own effort. God is the One Who initiated the plan of salvation..........even before the foundation of the earth out of His mercy and grace and love for mankind, whom He would create in His image and likeness.... Ephesians 2:8-9 (New King James Version) 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. Hebrews 7:25 (New King James Version) 25 Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. Romans 6:23 (New King James Version) 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Salvation is a GIFT.......Unearned and Undeserved. A gift of mercy and grace. We were bought with a price. John 3:18 (New King James Version) 18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18 (New King James Version) Christ the Power and Wisdom of God 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. http://wayofthemaster.com/goodperson.shtml. http://www.shema.com/articles/articles-122.php http://www.shema.com/marticles/marticles-015.php [/QUOTE]
