WE WILL ONLY ENTER HEAVEN BY THE STANDARDS OF GOD

Posted by George Soepboer Sr

Our way of life does not lead to heaven if we have not chosen the way of God, for only God’s way of life leads to heaven with God.
( Proverbs 14:12 ).

We can justify ourselves by our way of life that we think is of God, for our way of life may seem right and good to us but it has nothing to do with God. God who is the only giver of eternal life does not go by standards of people but by the standards of God. Therefore, our standard of life is of no use to us if it does not meet with the standards of God, for we cannot give ourselves eternal life with God, that we can only receive from God.
( Jeremiah 10:23 ).

Our standards for eternal life hinder us from interring into eternal life with God, for our standards for eternal life are against standards of God.

When we seek to enter eternal life with God through our way of life then we are never acceptable for eternal life with God. For the things that we do to make us acceptable for eternal life with God come from a proud heart and mind that thinks that God we will be pleased by the way we live for God, and therefore we cannot be denied eternal life by God. Anything that we think we do to make us acceptable by God is not of God, for it is the work of satan, not the work of God.
( Ephesians 2:8-9 ).

When we think that we can earn our rights of eternal life with God then we do not seek the grace of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God, but then we think that we deserve to be accepted in eternal life with God. However, it is only through Jesus Christ the Son of God that we are acceptable to God for eternal life with God. No one is acceptable by God without Jesus the Son of God, for no one can ever meet the standards of God to be accepted by God.
( John 14:6 ).

Only Jesus the Son of God made us acceptable to God by paying for all of our sins with His life on the cross to make us accepted by God, for we must be without sin to inter into eternal life with God, that is the standard of God.
( Romans 3:20-28 ).

When we seek to overcome our sins by what we do or do not do for God, then we will always remain in our sins, for we always live in sin by the standards of God.
( Romans 3:9-20 ).

We all are sinners by the standard of God. When we think we have not sinned then we do not know the standards of God, for we all sin by the standards of God.
( 1 John 1:8 ).

We all have sinned against God and stand in need of forgiveness by God. Therefore, we must set aside all self-seeking ways to make us acceptable to God, and we must humbly seek for the grace of God for forgiveness of our sins by God.
( James 4:7-10 ).

All of our sins can and will be forgiven by God if we humbly seek the grace of God to be forgiven of our sins by God through Jesus Christ the Son of God. For it is only by the grace of God through the Son of God that we can be forgiven of our sins by God.
( 1 John 1:9 ).

Our sins are forgiven by the grace of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God, for Jesus the Son of God paid for all of our sins on the cross to open the way for us to God and to be accepted into eternal life with God. When we seek eternal life with God in any other way then we will never be accepted by God, for that is the only standard of God.
( John 3:16-18 ).
