GOSPEL PROCLAMATION Good enough to go to heaven? The endless excuse for an answer when confronted with the issue of heaven and hell, is that many people say they're not perfect yet good enough to go to heaven. The bible explicitly answers the question "are there good people" and there's not one (Rom 3:10; 23). While there maybe good people in the sight and standard of man, but in God's sight all of us have gone astray (Isa 53:6). All of mankind have sinned against a just and holy God, incuring upon themselves death as the punishment of their sins (Rom 6:23), and all of their good works are counted as a 'filthy rag' (Isa 64:6). So clearly the bible is clear that there's are no good people but sinners, and sinners who fall short of what God's standard of goodness is (Rom 3:23) and there will be no good people in heaven, for only sinners enter in it (Mark 2:17). The bible clearly states that every person who enters heaven, enters not by their own meritorious works or their goodness but solely upon God's grace, mercy, and goodness (Eph 2:8-9, Titus 3:4-5). It is only through Jesus that one enters to heaven (John 3:16; 14:4). May God bless you all today.
