I’m sure you’re enjoying your life of no consequences for your actions......

And I'm sure that my life, which I do my utmost to appreciate and enjoy, is at least as moral as yours, which you presumably spend cringing in terror of some slip-up which will send you off to an eternity of torment.

Morals have naught to do with it, that is the point. It is only through the sacrifice, the Perfect Sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God, that Salvation can be received.

Live a good life, it is for naught for eternity.

With Christ, there is no slip up, Salvation is given, not removed. Having said that, it is not a green light to live as you would. A Saved person, born again in Christ, will WANT to live as it is written in the Bible.

“Slip-ups” happen, repentence happens, forgiveness asked and given. No loss of Salvation.

It is ONLY through the refusal of belief in Gods Son, who died to remove your sins, that you will be granted the access you deserve to hell.
