There are only two possible roads to heaven to God, two gates, two ways, two religious paths. One is the religion of human achievement. You earn your way by your morality, by your goodness, by your religiosity, by ceremonies, rituals, rites. This is the religion of human achievement, you have to do something. And this, by the way, is the category in which all false religions on the planet fit. They’re all just different forms of the religion of human achievement. And if you break one law of God one time, as James say, you’re guilty of violating all of it and you’re cursed. There is no hope for those people who come that way.

The other is the true religion of divine accomplishment, where everything is done by God, and it’s offered to us by grace and received by faith, not works.

Amen.

The requirement for Heaven is perfection. No human being can ever achieve that. But when we realize that Christ is our Lord and the only Savior, when we put our faith in Him, He covers us in His righteousness.

1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:
3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Sole vs. Soul:
Have you ever wondered whether someone was referring to the spiritual essence of your being, or the bottom of your foot?

If you were confused, the reason is that the words for these two concepts are homophones—they sound the same even though they mean different things. You could probably tell from the context of the conversation what the person meant, even if you couldn’t see that these words are spelled differently.
