When you die and if God asked why should I let you in to heaven?

Flippancy may not be appropriate at that time.

One man's flippancy is another man's earnest. He's the One who went to prepare a place for me. I assume I have a place reserved in glory.

… because You loved me so much that You gave Your only begotten Son to die for me so that I could have eternal life.

It's a funny chistianese question my pastor mentions occasionally. I'm very happy when I had a dream of an angel he did not say this. 😆 nor did he think it. It's a human thought...hence "christianese."

But hey... the correct answer is "it's not what I have done, but you. "

Yea here is the thing..it is because of what Jesus does for you that you get to heaven... Not what you do for Him. Because our very best is never perfect. He pays the price..He gets us there.

If somehow we could work our way there...what kind of standard does God have? If we could ..it would not be perfect good..which is all He is.
