No one measures up. Jesus is the only way (teaching, sacrifice, death, and resurrection). Your debt is paid if you repent, accept, believe, and follow. Let Jesus be your advocate and the Holy Spirit your navigator.

God does not grade on the curve. Nothing you can do, outside of believing and trusting in God will save you. You can be saved by His grace alone, if you repent of sin and accept His free gift.

God doesn't grade on the curve.

But wait! You are not without hope!

Thankfully - God sacrificed His perfect son, Jesus - so that if we Accept His sacrifice, our sin debt is repaid by the sacrifice of Jesus.

So if you accept that sacrifice of Jesus - ask for forgiveness of your sins - and you change the direction of your thinking (repent)...

Then according to the Bible, you will be saved.

I thought He graded on a cross? 😉

I once heard that the very fact that we TRY to please God, pleases God.

Hahahahahaha! Yes he does! It’s called the atonement- we just celebrated Easter!🐣

The Atonement is the sacrifice Jesus Christ made to help us overcome sin, adversity, and death. Jesus's atoning sacrifice took place in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross at Calvary. He paid the price for our sins, took upon Himself death, and was resurrected.

Jesus is the only way bub. Appreciate the sentiment but God is only through Christ.

God does grade on a curve and His name is Jesus. I wear a cross, not because I’m such a model Christian, but because I’m not. I’m broken and a sinner and Jesus Christ is my savior.

"In adjacent community" that's funny.😁

Because God is fully just he cannot accept any sin, even a little. He has to punish it.

Jesus Christ lived the perfectly obedient life ,that we are not even able to live, for us. He then died to pay the penalty for our sins forver.

Romans 4:25 "He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification."

Because of this, Jesus, the Son of God, guarantees eternal life for every single person who believes in Him or puts their faith in Him.

John 5:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life."

John 6:40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."

John 11:25-26 "Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”"

If you have believed in Jesus Christ, you already have eternal life right now and any good things you are doing are towards your eternal reward from Him(example, treasure in heaven).

God doesn't grade "on the curve." You must be perfect to be with a perfect God. There is only one way to be perfect. Die with Christ, be born again as a new and perfect person. Then walk in newness of life, forever.

He doesn't. It's strictly Pass/Fail

Imagine there are 10 restaurants in a small town in which you are staying. You visit all of them and see each and every chef in each restaurant drop their drawers and poop in the food. Some poop more, some poop less. Would you grade them on a curve and eat from the chef who pooped not quite as much in the stew as the others? God cannot tolerate sin in any amount. It is vile and disgusting to Him. That's why His Son had to die, to reconcile the lost ones {you, me, and all the other sinners of the world) whom He loves, with His Holy nature that cannot turn a blind eye to sin. Repent and turn to God, confess your need for a savior, believe in Jesus Christ and His resurrection from the dead, and you will have not only a place in Heaven, but joy and strength in this world too.

......I think the same way. Just do your best and keep on keepin' on.

To receive Jesus as your personal Saviour, simply *Recognize that your are a sinner who meeds Jesus *confess your sins-wrongdoings *Repent to God of your sins *Ask Jesus to save you, to come in to your heart *Ask Jesus to be Lord of your life

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His inly begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life.

Romans 3:1-29 God Remains Faithful 1What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? 2Much in every way. First of all, they have been entrusted with the very wordsa of God. 3What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness? 4Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge.”b 5But if our unrighteousness highlights the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict His wrath on us? I am speaking in human terms. 6Certainly not! In that case, how could God judge the world? 7However, if my falsehood accentuates God’s truthfulness, to the increase of His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner? 8Why not say, as some slanderously claim that we say, “Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved!

There Is No One Righteous
(Psalm 14:1–7; Psalm 53:1–6; Isaiah 59:1–17) 9What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin. 10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one. 11There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. 12All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”c 13“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.”d “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”e 14“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”f 15“Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16ruin and misery lie in their wake, 17and the way of peace they have not known.”g 18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”h 19Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin. Righteousness through Faith in Christ
(Philippians 3:1–11) 21But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets. 22And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. 25God presented Him as the atoning sacrificei through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand. 26He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus. 27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith. 28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law. 29Is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, 30since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. 31Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Certainly not! Instead, we uphold the law.

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 6 Dead to Sin, Alive to God
See also (2 Corinthians 4:7–18) 1What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer? 3Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life. 5For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection. 6We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. 7For anyone who has died has been freed from sin. 8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him. 9For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him. 10The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God. 11So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires. 13Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness. 14For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. The Wages of Sin 15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not! 16Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness? 17But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed. 18You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. 19I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness. 20For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness. 21What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death. 22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life. 23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 10:8-13 8But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved. 11It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”e 12For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him, 13for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

My opinion is that Earth is a pass/fail class, and the only ones who truly fail are the ones who desperately and explicitly want to fail. Just make an effort to treat everyone with love and kindness and you're all set. It may not be the orthodox view, but it is what I believe.

No offense but we are all going to hell unless we start seriously working on eliminating our defects (lust, greed, envy, anger, gluttony, sloth, lying, killing etc). Just believing unfortunately will get us nowhere. 99.9999999999999% of people are reincarnated after death based on their karma, those who have used up all of their lifetimes go to hell, unless they managed to escape the wheel of samsara by doing the work of Jesus Christ (becoming perfect) through super efforts.
