Your own righteousness will never
be enough for you to get into heaven.
You will come short
no matter how hard you try
or no matter what church you join.
So how does anyone get to heaven?
They receive the righteousness
they need as a gift.
Whose righteousness is it?
That of Jesus the Son of God.
How is that possible?
He took your place on the cross,
paid for your sins in full,
and gave his life to give you life.
How do you receive his righteousness?
By believing in him
that he is Lord God as is his Father
and that he is your Eternal Life
raised by God to life again.
The moment you believe in Jesus,
with ALL your trust for salvation in him,
he comes into you to live his life
as your righteousness and eternal life.
You are born into that life;
and having that life,
you grow up in him,
do what is right,
walk in love as he walks,
and overcome the world.
