Show Notes

I received a great response from a reader of a recent post, "Does Salvation and Heaven REQUIRE a Public Profession of Your Faith”. In that article, I offered the point that “being a good person will not save anyone”. He presented a Scriptural counterpoint to my statement.

Conclusion

Both Christians and non-Christians, all forms and flavors of "religion" desire to help and encourage others. But God does not weigh deeds or works on a scale in determining who goes to Heaven and who does not. This one point distinguishes nearly all other religions from Biblical Christianity. The Lord offers salvation to anyone and everyone by providing His Son as payment for our sins. Our only responsibility is to accept Him as our Lord and Savior.
