Not one of these can save us from the punishment of hell!
The Bible says ...
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God ... the wages
of sin is death." - Romans 3:23; 6:23
"For it is by grace you have been saved through FAITH and
this is not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God, not by works, so that no one can boast." - Ephesians 2:8,9
Yes, this is a list of very good things, but they would never be enough to take away our sin.
"He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy." - Titus 3:5
"A man is not justified by the works of the Law, but by the faith of Christ." - Galatians 2:6
The Bible is very clear that the only way to reach heaven is by FAITHALONE in the Lord Jesus Christ. Even trying to do
our very best to be good could not make us good enough to live forever in God’s perfect heaven.
