In human religions, you have to help Jesus out. You must also stay in good standing with your denomination/church, take the sacraments or Lord's supper, live as good as you can and don't commit any gross sins, and then die taking the last rites or in good standing with your denomination, and then you can go to Heaven, maybe. But you can never know for sure where you are going until AFTER you die; this keeps you in bondage to a denomination; religion wants your money, not for you to really prepared to meet God. If you don't know where you are going when you die, you are probably going to wind up in Hell. Religion leaves you lost and guessing, Christ leaves you saved and knowing.
In order to go to Heaven, you must have Christ's Righteousness imputed (transferred) to your soul *freely* by the power and mercy of God (John 1:12). This is the miracle the Bible calls Imputation. God through the Holy Spirit imputes Righteousness to the sinner who believes in Jesus Christ. Imputed Righteousness is when God takes our filth and our sins and lays them on Jesus Christ at the Cross and then in exchange, we receive Christ's Righteousness as a free gift. We don't become perfect in our own sight, but we are counted as absolutely Perfect in God's sight underneath the blood of Jesus. We are accepted in the Beloved only because of our simple faith in Christ's Finished Work. By faith sinners are legally declared righteous in God's sight. This righteousness is not of the sinner, rather it is Christ's Righteousness that is counted or "imputed" to them forever.
The Most Priceless Truth is that, Christ Jesus saves the ungodly freely by His grace through faith in His Precious Blood. The Incarnate God died to save unworthy wretches from sin and misery and destruction. This is the deciding question - Will you trust Jesus Christ alone with your soul? All sinners must be saved the same way. But human nature kicks and objects to Christ Himself as being the only Plan of Salvation. There is no hope for you but Jesus Christ - the living God. Rely only on the Good Grace of God to save your soul. Christ died for the ungodly, not good people, only really bad people (sinners) go to Heaven.
Christ Jesus, Christ crucified and risen, He is all your soul needs now and for all Eternity. Do not look within, look straight away to the Cross. Christ never came to save good people, He only came to save bad people, that is, sinners. Christ is the sinner's only Satisfaction. Christ will only save you without any help from your own doings. You must simply rest in Christ's Finished Work. As long as you trust in any of your doings, you cannot be rescued from sin. Come, believe, simply depend upon what Jesus Christ has done especially for you, and He is yours forever. JEHOVAH JESUS' priceless Ransom is your only escape from the *love of sin* and the damnation of hell fire.
You'll trust your vehicle with only a reliable Mechanic, you'll only entrust your money with a reputable Banker, you'll only turn your ailing body over to an experienced Surgeon, you'll trust your aching tooth with only a qualified Dentist, you'll only trust your court case with a good Lawyer, and you would be most wise to only trust your immortal soul with the Crucified and Risen Creator - The Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Simple reliance upon Christ Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Give up your soul to Jesus Christ completely for safekeeping. Humbly come to Jesus Christ for everything now, let Jesus do everything and He will meet all your poor soul's needs.
Jesus helps real sinners simply and only because they are needy and lost. Your soul is in great need today, in awful need, because you are such a sinner, and your *love for sin* only makes your need all the worse. Your first business is to trust your soul to Jesus Christ, and only then you will begin to quit loving your sin and self. You need Righteousness in order to safely meet God, for you have none at all; you need a new heart, a right spirit, you need a total change within, ye must be born again by the power of the Holy Spirit. Your vile nature within must be renewed by the power of Christ, you need everything Jesus IS, for you have nothing in you but sin and misery.
JEHOVAH only saves sinners through His Dear Son's Blood Sacrifice for your sins. God freely forgives sinners for Christ's sake. This is Bible Salvation - *Everything for Nothing* because Jesus paid it all with His own Blood. Salvation is pardon for free, Christ is free, Heaven is free. Eternal life is the pure gift of Heaven's charity. Have done with your own doings, and cast your lost soul on Jesus who has done everything for you, labor no more, but take freely the Righteousness that Christ has worked out for you. The only terms of the Gospel is *Everything for Nothing*.
You must bypass all human religion, and go directly to the Merciful Mediator as a guilty sinner, and find divine mercy in Him alone. Christ Jesus is the only One who can save you from your bondage, love, and the practice of sin. Come to the Lamb of God at the Cross and receive *Everything for Nothing*. Ask Christ for everything, for all your Salvation. At the Cross, there is nothing for you to pay, but everything for you to freely receive. Let Jesus' atoning blood do everything for your lost soul. *John 1:12; Acts 16:31*
