Pondering Point #1 - Am I Good Enough to Get Into Heaven?

I believe one of the most misunderstood concepts of the Christian faith is this: we tend to confuse the rewards we may receive in heaven with getting into heaven in the first place. I think most people in our western culture assume the more good things we do in our life, the better chance we will have to go to heaven; that's not what God's word teaches. Don't get me wrong, it's great to be a good moral person, but that has nothing to do with whether we get into heaven. We get into heaven based upon what Jesus did, not what we have done. The Bible basically says this, you can't add anything to what Jesus already did. If you are worrying about whether you've done enough to make the cut, stop worrying. Start finding out who Jesus is and what he is all about - and accept the fact that He alone is the answer to eternal life in heaven.

Let me know if you have questions along these lines - leave a comment.
