HOW TO GO TO HEAVEN

Christ Paid our Way to Heaven on the Cross

We deserve to be punished for our own sins.

"The wages of sin is death..."
Romans 6:23a

Christ is our Savior Who Paid the Penalty of our Sin on the Cross.

But God commendeth [proved] his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,

Christ died for us.

Romans 5:8

What did we owe?  Death - Romans 6:23

What did Christ pay?  Death - Romans 5:8

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.  All we like sheep have gone astray...and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all...for the transgression of my people was He stricken...Thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin...for He shall bear their iniquities...and He bare the sin of many...
Isaiah 53:5 - 6, 8, 10 - 12

If we could get to Heaven by being good, Christ would have died for nothing.

I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by [obeying] the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Galatians 2:21

Illustration

Any earthly judge who cast aside justice and did not punish a wicked murderer, merely because of a personal relationship with the guilty, would be and unjust Judge.  Even so God, as the holy Creator, Lawgiver, and Judge of mankind, could not justly set aside justice - simply because of His love for us.  What He did do was pronounce us guilty, sentence us to death, and then step down from Heaven, to become Man, and then satisfy justice by dying in our place.
Romans 3:19; 1 Peter 3:18
