The Bible says there is none good, not even one. So I am neither pure nor good. That's why I need a savior. Check for yourself if you are good enough to get to heaven here at www.thegoodpersontest.net

What one person considers to be pure and good is different from what another thinks...who is one to judge... as for heaven, heaven is of the mind, just as hell is, we see this in everyday life... constant heavens and hells of people, they are extremes/radicals of the mind.. The only real comfort is balance, not indulging, and not desiring more or less... And, the real question is not whether you'll go to heaven, but whether you'll ever be happy..

because sin is in the world, none of us is pure and good. No one is righteous, no not one!
Honestly, no, the good deeds we do won't get you to heaven. If our good deeds could get us to heaven, why would God send his son to die a terrible death on the cross?
romans 3:23 states....For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. 24) But we are justified freely by his GRACE through the sacrifice that came from Christ Jesus
Salvation will produce good works. Good works CANNOT produce salvation. We can't save ourselves!
Its really simple actually. God made it simple so everyone could accept him.

I don't think anyone is this world is always 100% pure & good. I used to work in a convent for retired nuns when I was 15 and lemme tell you they used to get drunk every saturday night. I am not lying, every Saturday we would put out beers for them and they definantly enjoyed it. Some of them would get so blasted that they would run into the walls while driving their mechanical wheel chairs. I swear...true story. So you see, even the most purest of people have their vices.

I consider myself 'good' - not pure. What's 'pure' anyway?
There's no heaven to go to, so clearly having these properties makes only a difference to those around me.

Good? Heaven knows I try.

The only way you can be pure and good is thought Christ, it is hard to do since the devil is always at us and he puts things in out thoughts that aren't of God.
As for whether or not that is enough, what is your definition of Good. You must keep the Commandments and do as God asks us to do. That is the ticket to heaven.
Example: You can give a homeless person shelter and food but if you don't remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy.. well what does that tell you? Follow the word of God and stay in pray, he will get you to his kingdom if that is what your heart desires.

The moment you think you are pure and good, impurity has already settled in your mind. No, this is not enough. To be able to for the test of Judgement, these things are MANDATORY...... Complete FAITH; GOOD DEEDS; Escorting people to truth and escorting people to anhiliation. After that if God wishes.....you may enter paradise.

No, I am not pure or good. I am a sinner and deserve to go to Hell when I die. But, thanks to my precious Jesus, I am a saved sinner, on my way to Heaven. Good works will NOT get you to Heaven, only confessing that you are a sinner and asking for forgiveness, can you enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessings!

Jeremiah 17:9 says "The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?"
Romans 3:23 says : for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;"
God is perfect and holy. Since we are not we would have to have to be separated from Him forever. But He loves us and made a way for us to be forgiven of our sins and live with Him forever in heaven when we die. Jesus is that way. John 14:6 says
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Jesus died on the cross for us to take away our sins. He was the perfect Lamb of God...He never comitted any sin and He took our punishment for us. Jesus loves us all so much and wants us all to know Him.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He have his only begotten Son that whosoever shall believe in him shall not perish; but have everlasting life.
I am not good enough to go to heaven on my own. Neither is any other human being. Jesus is the way for all of us and all we have to do is trust Him and ask him to cleanse us of our sins.
