That's how many think when it comes to going to heaven. They think that if they are good enough and do enough that they will get into heaven when they die. A person cannot be good enough and cannot do enough to be saved, because salvation is not by works. And yet never be saved, die and go to hell instead of heaven. I am not what I hope to be.
Salvation is free, full, and forever.
B. Jesus Graciously Purchased Our Salvation. For by grace are ye saved. Being saved by grace means that Jesus has done all that is necessary for salvation. Those 3 words are actually one word in the Greek, used in a variety of ways. I have paid the debt for sin debt.
