If you think about it, the notion that any one of us is worthy to enter heaven immediately upon death is not only presumptious, it is sheer arrogance.

It’s my understanding no one is worthy. We are only able to enter heaven because we’ve accepted Jesus’ sacrifice.

God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21).
