If you stood before God tonight and He asked, “Why should I let you into heaven?” what would your reason be? One sentence or less.

“Because the man on the middle cross said I could come” might forever be my favorite answer to that question.

Any answer that doesn’t begin with “Because He…” is incorrect.

There is nothing I could say to justify getting into heaven. I am guilty as charged and rely completely on His mercy. Any confidence I have is because of His faithfulness.

I throw myself on the mercy of your son.

God made Him who knew no sin to become sin for me, so that in Him I could become the righteousness of God.

Honestly, I think about this moment often. There is nothing that could or would say. As I envision this heavy moment, I would weep and simply bow down at His feet in tears and completely broken knowing my unworthiness. I would wash His feet in my tears if He would allow it and give myself over to His mercy. The only confidence in life I have is in His faithfulness. He never made a promise that was broken. My life hasn’t been perfect. I’ve had my own struggles. And, I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for never abandoning me. He kept His promises. Everyone.

Because Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for my sins, and although I tried to be like him I failed miserably but know he loves me because I love him and know he took that punishment for me. 🙌❤️ #JesusSaves

Ooh, that would be a frightening question. If I were even able to speak, I’d have to say “You shouldn’t, I’m a sinner and have taken Your Son’s gift for granted countless times. But Christ said that His sacrifice has covered my sins, and I have accepted Him as my Lord and Savior, and trust in His Word.”

Not because of anything I've done to deserve it, but because of Your grace and my faith in Jesus Christ, who died for my sins.

Jesus’ precious blood was shed for me.
Because Jesus....

Jesus paid it all; all to him I owe.

Because you payed the price for my sin. I’m a sinner, in need of a savior, you payed the price.

I’m unworthy but my faith in Jesus is my only redeeming quality

I plead the blood of Jesus.

It would be because of your grace rather than because of my many failed attempts at being worthy.

Jesus is my Lord.

After being beaten up by sin, you were the only one I love and trusted...

I’d say Jesus told me this was the line to stand in.

Only on the merit of Jesus Christ, who died for me, and rose to glory.

I would fit in in heaven.

He wouldn't ask. When I die, I will be beside my Father in Heaven and alongside Jesus Christ and all the prophets that came before and after Jesus Christs sacrifice.

Because your Son Jesus is my Lord, and I have lived as a true disciple.
