How can I be sufficiently “good” to please my Creator, Jesus Christ, and enter into eternal life?
It matters not how “good” you “think” you are through self-achievement in this life when the reality is, we’re all sinners in word, thought and deed and we all fall short of our Creator’s perfect moral standard for entering His Kingdom (Romans 3:23; 5:12) and entering into His presence in Eternity (Revelation 21:27); therefore, due His compassion and eschatological plan that is focused upon destroying the works of Satan via selfless love, perfect love as demonstrated by Jesus at Golgotha (1 John 3:8b), the Father has provided human kind ONE STANDARD for eternal life – absolute, unadulterated, PERFECTION; hence, the need for Jesus as one’s Messiah by faith (John 14:6; 3:16).
Jesus entered Time for YOU as His primary reason for entering Time was “to destroy the works of Satan” (1 John 3:8b) which are death-Hell-the grave. Jesus’ battle strategy to destroy the works of the Devil and pave a path for YOU to be forgiven of sin and allowed entrance into the KINGDOM is the Gospel which is first pictured for us in Genesis 3:21 and fulfilled by Jesus in Matthew 26:28 and John 19:30 with the words “It is finished.” It’s important and relevant to note that the Gospel, a divine battle strategy to destroy the works of Satan, was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10).
The Father has promised that anyone who will trust in Jesus as Messiah who died for them; that is, if one believes that Jesus is the Messiah promised in the Scriptures and they believe the shed blood of Jesus makes atonement (Leviticus 17:11), provides divine payment, for their sin, they are forgiven of all sin past-present-future (John 3:16; Hebrews 8:12) and they are welcomed into the Family of Elohim, forever, and they’re endowed the indwelling Holy Spirit who is their Guarantor of New Covenant relationship with the Father, forever (Ephesians 1:13-14)…those redeemed in Jesus by faith receive a new life, a changed life, a life directed and controlled by the indwelling Holy Spirit which is theologically referred to as “Christian sanctification” (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 5:16). Those who believe in Jesus as Messiah are gifted-imputed the righteousness-perfection of Jesus over their life, forever, and the Father agrees to no longer see their sin but only sees the righteousness of His dear Son, Jesus our Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus is our propitiation – payment for sin.
Jesus is the ETERNAL STANDARD for New Covenant relationship with the Father…there is NO OTHER WAY (John 14:6)! These life giving divine parameters concerning eternal life in the Kingdom are the will of the Father and irrespective of what YOU or anyone else thinks of these divine parameters, they are eternal and you will abide by them; that is, believe in Jesus as Messiah who died for you and LIVE or you’ll reject Jesus and the Father’s love through Jesus and you’ll be barred from entrance into the Kingdom due your unrepentant sin and you will die in Hell as there exists no other place for your unredeemed soul (John 8:24; Revelation 20:11-15).
YOU CAN NEVER BE SUFFICIENTLY GOOD TO EARN GOD’S FAVOR (EPHESIANS 2:8-9). READ THE “GOSPEL OF JOHN” FOR YOURSELF AND MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION CONCERNING YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE (Hebrews 9:27)!
