Am I good enough to go to heaven? What do I have to do to go there?

We have all sinned. We have all lied, coveted, been mean to someone, etc. We have all sinned! And we do it everyday.

A little girl was once watching a sheep eat grass and thought how white it looked against the green background. But when it began to snow she thought, “That sheep now looks dirty against the white snow!” It was the same sheep, but with a different background.

When we compare ourselves to man’s standard we look pretty clean, but when we compare ourselves to the pure snow white righteousness of God’s standard, we can see ourselves in truth, that we are unclean in His sight.

So here is the answer, am I good enough to go to heaven? What do I have to do to go to heaven?

You need to have faith! If you believe that Jesus was born of the Holy Spirit, and was crucified for the sins we have committed, and then rose from the dead you will go to heaven. You do not go to heaven by good works, but by salvation by faith in Jesus.

You need to repent from your sins (ask God for forgiveness), and have faith in Him.

If you killed 1000 people, but repented with faith, you would still be going to heaven. T (that doesn't mean you can kill 1000 people on purpose knowing you will ask for forgiveness later) that's how merciful our Lord is. So NO MATTER how many sins, or how bad the sins you have done are, if you repent and have faith you are going to heaven.

God bless.
