8 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. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to dob b(Ephesians 2:8-10 NIV) When a person thinks that his good works will get him into heaven, I say, God is perfect and he expects that anyone who enters his Kingdom will be completely without sin. But we are all sinners. None of us are perfect. Trying to be perfect is like trying to swim across an ocean. All of us fail at some point. Only Christ lived a perfectly sinless life. By trusting in Christ, we are saved. And as we love Christ, we then want to do good works.
