Do you think that Jesus cares more about what you do on this earth or more about who you are? I think one of the scariest verses in the Bible is this: "Not every one that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity." Matthew 7:21-23.
Isn't the key to eternal life with God the Father to depart from iniquity by repenting of your sins and trusting in His Son to save you from iniquity? Or do you think Christianity is really just another work based religion where you try to be a good person and do good works hoping Jesus will look favorably at what you have done on earth? Why are so many deceived?
