Ephesians 2: 8-9 ” For it is by grace you have been saved through faith- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.”

Sorry, but we can’t “work” our way into heaven. That spiritual score sheet we’ve been keeping means nothing to the Lord. We will never do enough in His eyes to qualify for a free pass to the Pearly gates. It is only by His grace, unearned and unmerited, that we are granted this gift of salvation… so that none of us can brag about what “we” did.
