Matthew 21:32 For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.
It is not our position in life that is going to make the difference as to whether we get to heaven; it is our belief in Christ alone that will secure that hope.
We may think that we are better than others who were dreadful sinners, but unless we turn to Christ we are as guilty as them for the so called “minor sins” we have in our lives.
Our repentance and belief in Christ secures our passage to heaven and not our good works or charitable deeds; they come from believing not the other way round!
