No more worries. No more life changes. But in my opinion, religion is not a free pass to heaven! We should constantly be STRIVING to be more righteous and be following even closer the example of Jesus, peace be on him.<br /><br />Jesus says that we will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven unless our righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees. <br />Also in Matthew 19 it is said:<br />16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”<br />17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.” <br /><br />There is so much in the Bible in the New and Old testaments that tell us firmly that we would strive to be righteous.<br /><br />Thanks for this post! :-DNeverEverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822581407125914036noreply@blogger.com
