No I do not deserve to go to Heaven, no one does. There isn't one person who can say that they are sinnless (they haven't broken any of the ten commandments). We have all broken God's law and deserve punishment. Thankfully, God has provided a way for us to go to Heaven; by putting our faith and trust in Him and what He has done and what He will do.

NO; I do not think I deserve heaven. However, the Bible promises us eternal life in heaven with God if we confess our sins and believe. So, thank God, even tho I don't deserve heaven, I believe that that's where I will be one day!

There isn't a Christian in the world that would tell anyone that they deserve to go to heaven. I have agreed with my God that I am a sinful man. I have lied, I have murdered (been angry without cause), I have committed adultery (looked on a woman with lust), and stolen ( coveted the property of another person). Jesus died on Calvary's cross and by His blood these sins have been forgiven. God now sees me in the righteousness of Christ not the selfrightousness of a lost sinner.... Jim

NO -- THAT IS WHY IT SAYS,
WE ARE SAVED BY G R A C E AND NOT OF OURSELVES!!
THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS - NO NOT ONE!!!
FOR GOD SO L O V E D THE WORLD THAT HE G A V E HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES ON HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE
~~ John 3:16
GOD IS NOT WILLING FOR ANY TO PERISH!!!
THAT is why He sent His Son and His Son was willing to and did lay down His life as a ransom for us...He is our REDEEMER.
He got us back from satan when adam handed us over to him and without Jesus, we would ALL be under the condemnation of
sin and eternal death.

no, i do not think i deserve heaven... there is not a single person on earth who 'deserves' it, but Christ gave his own blood as atonement for our sins and when we accept that gift of Grace, we are spotless once again and God takes us to be with Him.... but no, deserving is not what i would call myself

Nobody deserves Heaven. That's why we're so lucky that our God is a forgiving God, and our Lord is selfless, and gave His life for us.

No one deserves heaven, that's why salvation is a grace gift from God if you believe in Jesus Christ.

No.
I confess that I am by nature sinful and unclean. I have sinned in thought, word, and deed. I justly deserve God's temporal and eternal punishment.

By whose standards? God's? No.
In society's standards, I'm not terrible, but I could be much better...
I haven't done anything seriously wrong. Or... Well... I did steal a few times (blame it on youth). Played games with people's hearts... Lied...
No, I'm not a good person. I'm not true to myself.
