Never Enough

Many people try very hard to be good people, hoping that their good will outweigh their bad and somehow they'll get in to heaven... That's not how it works, however. It is impossible to work your way into heaven. Everything good that you do will NEVER BE ENOUGH.

The bible says that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 4:23) And that "the wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23) Which means eternal separation from God.

The story doesn't end there, though. God sent his only son to die on a cross for your sins. He died, then on the third day, rose again, conquering over death."But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)

The bible says that It is by grace you have been saved, through faith, not of works, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast...

And that "if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9+10)

"For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10: 13)

You can never do enough to earn God's love, but the beautiful thing is that He gave it as a free gift. It is yours for the taking, you just have to accept it.
