Do Good People Get to Heaven?

Several years ago, I wrote a book called Ready to Return. It shared research that found that sixty-five percent of young people in the church believe that good people get to heaven.

But that’s not what the Bible teaches! First of all, there are no “good” people. Jesus said no one is good but God. And all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

Second, Scripture is very clear about the only way to get to heaven—Jesus! Salvation is found in no one else. And here’s why: we’re sinners, deserving of death. But Jesus, the God-man, died in our place, taking our sins upon himself.

Then he rose from the dead … and offers salvation to all who’ll believe.
