If you don't keep the Commandments, Bud, you can't make it to Heaven, the Bible is clear on that.
If that were true then no one would ever get to Heaven because other than Jesus no one has ever kept all the 10 Commandments. In fact the entire point of the Gospel is that Jesus saves even those who haven't kept all the Commandments.
If you break one, you break them all! (Ja.2:10)
The only way to get saved is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, who died for your sins and rose from the dead.
He did all the work, that is why salvation is by faith, that it might be by grace (Rom.4:16).
Grace and works don't mix (Eph.2:8-9, Rom.4:4-5).
Do you really think you are going to make it to heaven because you kept the Commandments?
That was exactly what the rich, young ruler thought until the Lord exposed his hidden sin.
“If you don’t keep the Commandments, Bud,” you never converted in the first place. If you have been born again - made a new creation by the power of God - do you think you can uncreate yourself?
A changed life is the result of salvation, not the procedure by which we earn it.
Then why did we need a new religion two thousand years ago when G-d had already provided one?
