My Righteousness is in heaven....His name is Jesus. I have no righteousness of my own.
I cannot add one thing to the finished work of Christ on the cross towards my salvation. If a person believes they can earn their salvation or need purgatory to be good enough to enter into God’s presence they will miss what God wants for them - salvation through His Son Jesus Christ.
I love catholics...I have many catholic brothers and sisters....I just don’t want to see any of them miss God’s way to Him through His Son alone, because of doctrine that has added to the cross/payment of Christ. We must all be concerned with the seriousness of our eternity.
To only hope you are going to heaven or will make the grade in this purgatory fictional place is the most dangerous mistake someone who seeks after God can make. Just settle things with God at the cross of Christ by faith now and rest in Him till the day He takes you. And yep in the mean time work for Him, but out of love not duty.......there are so many lost that do not yet know the gospel of Christ.
Very well said.
