OK, so a husband and wife went to court. The man was being charged with mental and physical abuse, and there was clear evidence. Most of the neighbors stood up as witnesses and testified on behalf of the husband.
“He’s a good man.” “He always helped me when I needed him.” I see him at least twice a week, helping at the shelters. He’s a good guy.”
Despite so much testimony in favor of the man, the judge made his ruling:
“Ladies and gentlemen, I appreciate your kind words and support of this man. However, this case is between the man and his wife. Maybe to you he is very decent, but he is guilty of abuse towards his wife.”
This scenario is very much related to us. Many people are under the impression that we can go to heaven if we are a good person. ‘If we live a decent life, causing no one harm, we will surely go to that better place.’ However, our case is not between us and our neighbors; actually, our trial is between God and us. Without knowing what sin we have done against God, how can we be pardoned and return to heaven. If our sins were against each other, how can you explain the death of a baby?
Let’s say a baby is born and dies 5 minutes later.
Rom. 6:23″ For the wages of sin is death…”
That baby died because of sin, because death is the penalty for sin. When did that baby get the chance to commit sin on earth? But where was that baby’s spirit before it came to the earth?
Eccl. 12:7 “…and the dust returns to the ground it came from,
and the spirit returns to God who gave it.”
Eccl. 5:2 “Do not be quick with your mouth,
do not be hasty in your heart
to utter anything before God.
God is in heaven
and you are on earth,
so let your words be few.”
How can we return to a place we’ve never been before?
Also, no on in this world lives forever…
So ultimately, we cannot go to heaven by just being a good person because:
Rom. 3:10 As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
11there is no one who understands,
no one who seeks God.
12All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.“
