Indeed! Living a good life is nice, but it can’t possibly save. The most moral law-keeping people were the Scribes and Pharisees, but here is what Christ said of them:
“For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
—Maarhew 5:20
The only way to heaven is Christ Jesus. He is The way, the truth, and the life. The standard of God’s kingdom is absolute spotless perfection, which is an impossibility for any man. Without His perfect righteousness imputed to a sinner’s account, there is no chance to ever see the kingdom.
Salvation isn’t achieved through deeds, it’s found only in a man, the perfect God man who gave His life for sinners. And the one and only way to lay hold of Him and His sacrifice is by faith. The just shall live by faith!
Narrow is the door and few are they that find it.
