About
It can be a shock to realize that "good" people don't make it to heaven... only perfect people do. God's standard is perfection! Jesus says we must be perfect, just as the Father is perfect. That makes every one of us doomed, left on our own. Thankfully, while not one is perfect, and we all fall short—perfect is a gift. God gives "perfect" as a gift for those who will receive it by faith in Jesus. All of your sin and failure gets debited to Jesus, and all of his perfect righteousness gets credited to you if you'd put your faith in his death, burial, and resurrection. Are you trying to measure up on your own, or have you received the gift that makes you right with God?
