What is needed to enter Heaven

Why people cannot enter Heaven:

1. They're sinners. 

2. They're not perfect. 

Nothing unholy can be in God's presence & live. He must punish sin wherever it is found.

• Exodus 3:5: "And He said, 'Do not come near....for the place where you are standing is holy ground.'"

• Exodus 33:12-14: "And Moses said to the Lord, 'Please show me Your glory.' And He said, ...'You cannot see My face, for no man shall see Me and live.'

• Psalm 5:4: "For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; Evil shall not dwell with You."

• Revelation 21:27: "But nothing unclean will ever enter it... only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life."   

• Hebrews 12:14: Without holiness no one will see the Lord.

"The Bible says, 'All unrighteousness is sin' (1 John 5:17). To get into Heaven, we must have perfect righteousness. God says, 'Be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect' (Matthew 5:48). Man's perfection was lost in Eden by Adams sin. How can we get perfection if we already fall short of it? Where are we going to get that perfection? We don't have it now. Yet we can't get to Heaven if we don't have it. Is it hopeless??

Is it even possible? 

How can we gain righteousness?

Yes it is possible. That is why Christ died on the cross; He shed His blood and rose again to provide the required righteousness for us.

We must understand:

1. God is Holy

2. Humans are unholy sinners

3. We deserve only Hell & God's wrath.

4. It is by God's grace we can obtain it.

5. God made one way to Heaven possible

6. Jesus is the door to Heaven

7. We gain access to righteousness, salvation, Heaven and eternal life through obeying the Gospel command.
