Would God be thrilled to pieces to greet you into eternal bliss because He thinks you are a good person. Or would He cast you into Hell because you have broken all of his Laws all of the time. How does God view who you are?
Isn't this the Gospel of Jesus Christ: Man has sinned against Me so because of my goodness I will become a man in the flesh (Jesus) and fulfill all prophesies written about me and be perfect in word, thought, and deed never committing one sin. I will die on the cross suffering the sins of mankind becoming sin so that everyone can have the chance to enter Heaven with Me. I will resurrect myself and ascend back to Heaven and in the end judge everyone I gave life to on this planet to see if they ever repented of their sins and put their trust in Me to save them. Isn't this the gospel.
So............why do so many people think that they are good (even Christians) when God doesn't. Which is why He became one of us to die for us so that we could live with Him?

Why did He have to "die" so that we could live with Him.What sense does that make?How does someone dying on the cross wipe out sin?I would ask you to explain but I am sure it would be the usual vague,non-responsive answer.

Its a question of faith and only you can answer it because it is different for everyone. Some people beleave in god and some dont so if u r a christian and beleave in god then ull know that even if u led a bad life and did bad things and dissobeyd gods law u still have a chance at forgiveness.

The first concern I will have in my mind is: do I live the FULLEST in my everyday life? Do i love the people around me as much as they love me, have I be very mindful that I don't create any bad deeds to hurt anyone who come in contact with me. If those answer are positive, I would have die without any regrets, even it means that I have to die today. Everyone is the 'owner' of our actions, nobody would be able to die for us (as much as I believed) after all we need to die one day anyway whether we are prepare or not, so whether I will be 'reborn' or 'resurrect' or not, that's beyond my control.

Wow, you certainly have a grasp on t is the Gospel truth. Legalism is rampant in Christianity. If we do enough, and are good enough (which could never be enough compared to a Holy God) we might please Him more. Nothing could be further from the truth. God loves us and saves us based on our acceptance of His Son and His atoning work on the Cross. NOTHING ELSE!!!! Don't pervert the Gospel by saying we must do anything other than accepting Christ as Savior to be saved

Jesus didnt die, that was the point of the crucifixion. He proved that man's body is the container of man's soul-which is eternal. Being eternal, man has a long time to become perfect enough to be in the presence of God. God created each person and I doubt that God sends His children to Hell.

People think that they are good and aren't is because they are self-centered. Most Christians should know that they should humble themselves, and to admit their guilts.
No one is perfect apart from God.
...And if I was to die tonight...
I would probably pray and that would be it.
The time finished for me to stay in Earth.

I've met many people that assured me they were good ... I've met many others that assured me that others were good as well ... theres folk lurking out there that think I'm good ... at the end of the day ... I happily admit I am not good and I don't try to be ...
It's not a horrible thing to exhort or give each other kudos ... the believer will always credit DAD sooner or later with that goodness ... since we follow HIS lead ...

God is both loving and just. God will welcome those who have placed their faith in Jesus for their salvation. There is no other way to the Father but through Jesus.
Those who have denied Christ and have refused to accept His free gift of salvation will most assuredly end up in the lake of fire. The Bible says this--this is something that Christians have not made up.

If i were to die tonight, i would go into the ground or in the incinerator in a few days...
and if there were a god (something i'm not exactly concerned about) - i'd be sent to hell...it'd be nice to meet my maker there anyway, i guess
