We worry so much about being good enough for Heaven. Will i make it? Sometimes we jokingly just assume we are going to Hell because we know ourselves so well and feel we are NOT perfect. These are actually good thoughts to have because it makes us think. What actually is the answer? Well, the Bible tells us. There's no way on earth we are going to Heaven without HELP. Certainly we've all made mistakes. That's a given. Some people erroneously believe that because of that God will just understand and let us all into Heaven and keep things moving along as they are. Trouble is Jesus died for a reason. It was not to create a New Religion. He also left before He could "show off" to all the world about this Great New Religion He invented. No, that was not His purpose. Man because of our own wrong doings could never be good enough to get into Heaven but someone made a way for us to get there. He didn't give us a set of rules but a gift. Its called Righteousness. When you understand you can't earn this you begin to relax and trust that it matters not about your past or even your future, but just your simple trust in Jesus to help you get there. That same trust in Jesus will help you overcome any of life's troubles. Always remember His help is a gift and you never have to earn it. Fact is you could never earn it anyway hence the reason for the gift! We all need the gift! Stop worrying about whether you're good enough anymore and start appreciating the gift. Your thankfulness is all that's necessary to God.
