And THAT is works righteousness.
We can’t do a THING to be allowed into the kingdom except throw ourselves on the mercy of God.
It’s ALL Christ and His righteousness credited to our account.
Jesus told us God’s will. Be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Not a one of us can attain that. Not even close.
THAT is why Christ had to die for us.
The Law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.
God will not send the regenerate believer to hell. No Christian is going there.
But plenty of people who call themselves Christians and think they’re Christians because they do the do’s and don’t do the don’t’s, who are really trusting themselves, will be there.
