1 John 3:21-23
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him.
And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.

James 1:27

I’ll throw this out: If you find yourself worrying about being good enough, or repenting “far enough” to make it to heaven, you’re doing it wrong.

Grace is unique to Christianity and not something to be witnessed in man-made religion. The saved are heirs. Sometimes a father is not very pleased with his children, but he doesn’t write them out of the will.

This knowledge frees us to to good, not to ensure our salvation, but to please our Father in heaven.
