Nope. Just a simple question based on your comment.
Which part? And how does that answer the question I asked you, which was: do you think you're good enough to go to heaven?
There is nothing YOU can do to get to heaven, and this statement of yours is exactly why I asked the above question.
Only CHRIST'S COMPLETED WORK on the Cross. That's why Paul says Christians are DEAD IN CHRIST. People who are dead do not and cannot keep the law, and so are freed from it. We are DEAD TO THE LAW.
I just did a quick search to check something, and I'd like to ask you something else in addition to my above question:
Isn't it interesting that Paul never once says anything about rest for the weary?
Weary from what? The law.
Yet Jesus says "I will give you rest," but then He goes on to say, "take My yoke upon you . . . For my yoke is easy, My burden is light".
Paul challenged those who would place the yoke, of the law upon Christians, such as yourself:
Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? - Acts 15:10

So I ask again, Barbarian.
Are you good enough to go to heaven?
what Jesus says will give me a lifetime of eternity with Him, then I will.
You're like a soldier who was first told to dig a trench at the border to prepare for an assault on a neighboring country, and now has been told to leave the trench and attack, but refuses to because you insist on only following the first command, but completely ignore the second.
How about you?
You think you've done what He expects us to do?
There is nothing I could ever do to attain eternal life, nor do I arrogantly presume to be capable of the perfection necessary to attain eternal life.
I simply accepted that Christ has done the necessary work, and has redeemed me from eternal death, as Romans 10:9 says:
that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. - Romans 10:9
