If you stood before God tonight and He asked, “Why should I let you into heaven?” what would your reason be? One sentence or less.

“Because the man on the middle cross said I could come” might forever be my favorite answer to that question.

There is nothing I could say to justify getting into heaven. I am guilty as charged and rely completely on His mercy. Any confidence I have is because of His faithfulness.

Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”

Any answer that doesn’t begin with “Because He…” is incorrect.

I would probably say you shouldn't let me into heaven because I am not worthy. None of us are worthy but thank goodness for God's grace.

"You shouldn't" Nothing I could possibly say to God would be a reason why I "should" be in Heaven. None of us SHOULD be in Heaven.

God made Him who knew no sin to become sin for me, so that in Him I could become the righteousness of God.

Honestly, I think about this moment often. There is nothing that could or would say. As I envision this heavy moment, I would weep and simply bow down at His feet in tears and completely broken knowing my unworthiness. I would wash His feet in my tears if He would allow it and give myself over to His mercy. The only confidence in life I have is in His faithfulness. He never made a promise that was broken. My life hasn’t been perfect. I’ve had my own struggles. And, I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for never abandoning me. He kept His promises. Everyone.

I’m unworthy but my faith in Jesus is my only redeeming quality

God, I stand before you with no claim of my own. I am a sinner, and I am not sure I believe I am worthy to be in your magnificent house. Father, I am on my knees asking you to forgive me of all my sins, and if you believe I belong in your house, I humbly ask you to let me walk into your house. Father, I understand if you choose not to allow me into your house, but you will always be my God and my Father who I will always worship. Amen.

Because you payed the price for my sin. I’m a sinner, in need of a savior, you payed the price.

There's only one "reason". Christ has reconciled us to Himself.

Because I want to spend all my days glorifying you

I accepted Jesus as my Lord & Savior because I don’t deserve to get in on my own.
