I’ll trust in Jesus, my Savior and Lord, and express my love for him by striving to obey him.

If you practice the exclusionary sin of homosexuality, you will not go to heaven (1 Cor 6:9)

Dude. Chill. I’m not “practicing the exclusionary sin of homosexuality.” And even if I were, that sin would be no worse than any sexual sin committed outside of marriage.

The thing is, no “sin” will keep us out of heaven. Because no lack of sin will get us into heaven.

Yes, followers of Jesus strive to obey him, out of love and appreciation for what he’s done. But our obedience, or lack thereof, does not get us into or out of heaven.

Salvation is found in Christ alone. To say that your “obedience” earns you some degree of salvation steals glory from Jesus.
