We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.
Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.
For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.
Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith.
So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law.
--- Romans 3:22-28 NLT
To be good enough to go to heaven, we must be perfect in thought, word, and deed.
So on the Day of Judgment, will you be innocent or guilty of breaking God's Law?
You will be guilty like all of us.
Trying to clean up your lifestyle will not work. The only way to become good (righteous) is
by placing your faith in Jesus Christ.
He(God) made Him(Jesus Christ) who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. -- 2 Corinthians 5:21 NASB
We are made good (righteous) by our faith in Jesus Christ, not by our works.
However, when you are born-again by surrendering to the Lord Jesus Christ, you will want to do righteousness and live in a way that pleases God. (1 Thessalonians 4:1)
But just believing that Jesus is God is not enough. Faith is belief in action.
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. (NIV) -- James 2:17
We must continually turn
from sin and obey God.
So, repent and turn from your sin and place your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
What is hell and how do we not go there?
The Bible tells us that God "prepared" hell for the devil and the fallen angels after they rebelled against Him (Matthew 25:41).
The Bible calls it a place of "outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 25:30).
The Bible describes hell as a terrifying and horrible place. A place separated from God for eternity.
Hell is a place of "unquenchable fire" (Matthew 3:12) and is described as a "lake of burning sulfur" where the wicked are "tormented day and night forever and ever." (Revelation 20:10)
Hell is a real place but God does not desire that anyone perish and go there. God has provided a way
for us through His Son Jesus Christ to avoid hell.
God is "patient... not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance."
(2 Peter 3:9 NASB)
What really happened on the cross:
The ten commandments are called the moral law.
We broke the law, and Jesus paid the fine, enabling God to legally set us free from sin and death.
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,
in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
--- Romans 8:1-4

And he who believes (has faith, clings, leans on) the Son has (now possesses) eternal life. But whoever disobeys (disbelieves, refuses to trust, despises, is not submissive) to the Son will never see (experience) life, but [instead] the wrath of God remains upon him. [God's displeasure remains on him; His indignation weighs continually on him.]
--- John 3:36 amp
God is perfect; we are not.
But when He saves us and we are "born again", the Holy Spirit moves in and begins to transform our imperfections. Jesus changes us
from the inside out.
Our salvation is our personal miracle.
His blood shed on the cross covers our sin.
For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.(NLT)
--- 2 Corinthians 5:21 NASB
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Jesus lives His life through us, so our chief purpose in this life is to be like Him. In our daily walk with Jesus we learn from Him and His spirit is helping us do His will over our own will.
Thus we are becoming more like Jesus. This is what it means to be conformed to His image. We become "conformed to the image of His Son"
(Romans 8:29).
God gives us eternal life as a free gift, not because we are good but because He is good and merciful.
