Does God Approve?

What is your end-game strategy for avoiding Hell and going to Heaven? This is not something to take lightly.  This is serious!

Some people think that they are moral, do not intentionally hurt anyone, and they should be ushered into heaven.  That is not even possible

Some people think that they are moral, do not intentionally hurt anyone, and they should be ushered into heaven.  That is not even possible.

Some people "think" that they will be able to present evidence to God, hope that they have done more good things than bad things, and that they will be ushered into
heaven.  That is not even possible.

Some people think that they can intentionally choose to do "good" things and that God will grant them Heaven based upon their good works.  That is not even possible.

Not one person is born RIGHTEOUS!

Romans 3:10 - As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

righteous - (dikaios) - Adjective - correct, just, judicial approval

Not one person has GOD'S APPROVAL on their life without His help!

Every person sins because of their nature and choice.

Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

All SINNERS are condemned to Hell!

John 3:18 - He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

We can non EARN RIGHTEOUSNESS!

Titus 3:5 - Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Our best is not good enough!

Isaiah 64:6 - But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Jesus DIED FOR US, so that we can get God's APPROVAL on our Life!

2 Corinthians 5:21 - For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him

God wants to DECLARE you Righteous:

Because He Loves you!

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Because Jesus Christ Died for you!

1 Peter 3:18 - For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Because you BELIEVE!

Romans 10:9 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Righteousness is a LEGAL DECLARATION by God.  Based upon the death of His son Jesus Christ.  Based upon your belief that Jesus died for YOUR SINS!  God is JUST in declaring you RIGHTEOUS!  Your sin debt has been paid in full by the death of Jesus Christ on a cruel cross!  When you believe, God declares you RIGHTEOUS.  What does this mean?  It means that God applies the sin death payment of JESUS to your life.  It means GOD now treats you like you have never sinned!  It means God treats you like you have always perfectly obeyed Him.  It means you avoid hell and go to HEAVEN when you die.
