Trump was right in a sense that “religion” as we know it does hold people accountable so they strive to be “good” - but religion isn’t the path to Heaven to be reconciled with our wondrous Creator. It’s Jesus.
Once you have truly accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior - through confession and belief in your heart, everything in your life as you once knew it changes. You begin to radiate the fruits of the spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. It’s often believed by many that you must “act a certain way” to get to Heaven. Sadly, we are not without sin in this broken world so it’s almost a guarantee that you will mess up many, many times following Jesus. But if you continue to repent (turn away from sin) and set your eyes on the cross to accept the grace of God through his son Jesus Christ, you may be saved.
