HEAVEN IS A GIFT

IF SOMEONE BELIEVES IN CHRIST, BUT ALSO THINKS HE HAS TO BE GOOD IN ORDER TO GO TO HEAVEN, WILL HE MAKE IT?

NO.

If you were drowning, and someone offered to pull you to shore, but you insisted on only letting him bring you half way in because you wanted to do your part, would you make it?

As long as a person thinks he has his part in getting himself to heaven he is putting confidence in what he is doing instead of what Christ did for him. He has as much chance of saving himself from Hell by his own efforts as a drowning man has of saving himself from drowning. The Lord did not die to be our Helper, but our Savior.

The Bible says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast" (Ephesians 2:8,9).
