If you stood before God tonight and He asked, “Why should I let you into heaven?” what would your reason be? One sentence or less.

“Because the man on the middle cross said I could come” might forever be my favorite answer to that question.

Any answer that doesn’t begin with “Because He…” is incorrect.

There is nothing I could say to justify getting into heaven. I am guilty as charged and rely completely on His mercy. Any confidence I have is because of His faithfulness.

God made Him who knew no sin to become sin for me, so that in Him I could become the righteousness of God.

Honestly, I think about this moment often. There is nothing that could or would say. As I envision this heavy moment, I would weep and simply bow down at His feet in tears and completely broken knowing my unworthiness. I would wash His feet in my tears if He would allow it and give myself over to His mercy. The only confidence in life I have is in His faithfulness. He never made a promise that was broken. My life hasn’t been perfect. I’ve had my own struggles. And, I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for never abandoning me. He kept His promises. Everyone.

If anyone starts their comment with anything besides “Because He said so” misses the point. I cannot do anything that deserves heaven

You shouldn't. On my merit, I'm an absolute failure of your laws and commandments.

Because Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for my sins, and although I tried to be like him I failed miserably but know he loves me because I love him and know he took that punishment for me. 🙌❤️ #JesusSaves
