ARE YOU RIGHTEOUS ENOUGH TO GO TO HEAVEN?


NO!


Ecclesiastes 7:20* - For there is not a just (righteous) man upon earth, that does good, and does not sin.

Isaiah 64:6*But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness is as a filthy rag; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Romans 3:10, 23*As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one - - - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.


MANKIND'S SOLUTION!


Ezekiel 33:13* - When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; (but) if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity (and he will; all do), all his righteousness shall not be remembered:  for his iniquity that he has committed, he shall die for it.

Romans 10:3* - For they (those counting upon their religion) being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.


Galatians 2:16* - Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law - - - for by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified.

Ephesians 2:8-9* - For (salvation is) - - - not of works, lest any man should boast.

Titus 3:5* - (Salvation is) not by works of righteousness which we have done....


GOD'S SOLUTION!


Matthew 6:33* - Your first priority should be to allow God to rule over you, and to accept the gift of His righteousness!

John 6:28-29* - Then said they unto Jesus, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?  He answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that you believe on Him Whom He has sent (Me - Jn. 3:16).

Acts 2:36-38*Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made Jesus, Whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.  Now when they heard this, they were pricked (grieved) in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for (because of - 1 Cor. 15:3) the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (be indwelt by the Holy Spirit - Jn. 14:17; Acts 2:4).

Acts 16:27-34* - And the keeper of the prison, awaking out of his sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled (had escaped)But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm:  for we are all here.  Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?  And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house (all those living in your house)And they spoke unto him the Word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.  And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.  And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

Romans 3:24-28* - Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:  Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation (the satisfaction of, the full payment of our debt for sin) through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time His righteousness:  that He might be just, and the One Who justifies all who believe in Jesus.  Where is boasting then?  It is excluded.  By what law?  Of works?  No:  but by the law of faith.  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without (apart from) the deeds of the Law.

Romans 4:2-5* - For if Abraham were justified by works, he would have reason to boast (before men); but not before God.  For what do the Scriptures say?  Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.  Now to him who (counts upon his own) works is the reward not reckoned of grace (as a gift), but of debt (it would have been earned)But to him that does not count upon his good works, but believes in Him Who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

2 Corinthians 5:20-21* - Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech (entreat; beg) you by us:  we pray you in Christ's stead, be reconciled to God.  For He has made Him to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God (by faith) in Him.

Galatians 2:16* - Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law:  for by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified.

Ephesians 2:8-9* - For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:  it is the gift of God:  not of works, lest any man should boast.

Titus 3:5* - (Our salvation is) - - -  according to His mercy....




JESUS SAID, I AM THE ONLY WAY, 
I AM THE ONLY TRUTH, 
AND I AM THE ONLY LIFE:
NO ONE CAN COME TO THE FATHER, 
UNLESS I SAY SO (John 14:6*)


*ALL SCRIPTURE IS INTERPRETED AS I UNDERSTAND IT!
