Getting In
1 John 1:5 [ Walking in the light ] This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. He is 100% pure, spotless, perfectly loving and perfectly just. And so how do I stand a chance as the messed up person that I am to ever stand in the magnificent presence of God? By what means do I gain entrance to Heaven? It isn't that God wouldn't want to welcome me in regardless, but there can be no darkness in the presence of 100% light. It's not possible. Where there is unadulterated love there cannot be even a hint of less. Being good for cosmic brownie points makes no sense. And is a burdensome way to live...Even the sweetest person on the planet has come up short somewhere along the way. Following a set of rules is futile since I can refrain from murder but still be a hateful person in my heart. Rituals simply prove that I can do rote religious activity. How does that heal my sickness of soul? I'm hopeless. Screw
