WE MUST BE LIKE GOD TO GO TO HEAVEN!

BELIEVERS ARE SINNERS WITH GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS!

Matthew 6:33 - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Romans 1:16-17 - For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ:  for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (non-Jew; Gentile).  For therein is THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD revealed from faith to faith:  as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Romans 3:21-23, 26 - But now THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD without (apart from) the Law is manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets; even THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe:  for there is no difference:  for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God . . . . To declare, I say, at this time HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS:  that He might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Romans 4:3-7 - For what saith the Scripture?  Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.  Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.  But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.  Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth (God freely gives His) HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

Romans 5:17-18 - For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall reign in life by One, Jesus Christ.  Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF ONE the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

2 Corinthians 5:21 - For He (the Father) hath made Him (His Son) to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD (by faith) in Him.

1 John 3:2 - Beloved, now are we the sons (children) of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be:  but we know that, when He shall appear, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; for we shall see Him as He is.

THESE ARE BUT A FEW EXAMPLES THAT EXPLAIN

HOW ONE ATTAINS GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS:

BY FAITH IN OUR RESURRECTED LORD!
