Jesus isnt saying, if youre good enough, you get into heaven. Thats not the Gospel. You get into heaven simply by trusting Jesus, but if that trust is real, youll do what he says. Jesus says in the gospel of John, you abide in his love if you obey his Word, just like he abided in the Fathers love by keeping his Word. It thats scary to hear that, well, you know what? Maybe thats not bad—it drives us back to him, back to the source of grace, like in the first Beatitude: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:3)
ummmm, whats with the secular music?
