What are you doing, that makes you more righteous than a Pharisee?One Thing We Must Do to Be in Heaven
"For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." Matt 5:20
Not just, not committing sins, but not leaving undone all that God commands to do.That's called not sinning.
Repent and give our lives to Jesus. The Holy spirit will dwell in us and help us to love God and not sin.Love God and stop sinning for His name's sake.
SO why do you continue to sin??There is nothing we can do to go to heaven, except not be sinning.
While this is necessary, the basis of entry into Heaven is not your righteousness but the righteousness of Christ. Unless you and I are clothed in His righteousness -- imputed righteousness -- it will not matter what anyone does or does not do. And God imputes righteousness when He justifies a sinner PURELY BY HIS GRACE and solely on the basis of the finished work of Christ. It is "Christ in you" which is "the hope of glory". The GIFT of God is eternal life (which you failed to mention).Love God and stop sinning for His name's sake.

AMENto get to heaven you have to to ask Jesus into your heart & believe that he has saved you & accept him as your Savior, you must also repent of anything that is wrong in your life & believe that he died for you & rose again
The biggest lie of the devil, in order to make believers unrighteous christian sinners, is that Jesus did everything on His cross, so that there is nothing anyone can do to go to His heaven, but only believe the man Jesus died on a cross for our sins.
True: sinning includes not doing what we know to do, the truth.Not just, not committing sins, but not leaving undone all that God commands to do.
Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart soul mind strength. Not sinning means loving God with everything you are always. Always, with everything. And love others as Jesus loves. Always. Everyone.
And not just our version, how we define love, but God's version, what He approves. Like Jesus.
No pettiness, no bitterness, no thinking we're better than others, no thinking we have some right to anything. No responding in any unkindness or impatience, no fleshiness at all.
Much love!

It is "Christ in you" which is "the hope of glory". The GIFT of God is eternal life (which you failed to mention).
Also, God deals with Christians who persist in sin. See Hebrew 12 and other passages. But no one goes to Heaven based upon their own righteousness.
If you're not going quote me doing something, then your accusations are foolish.That is not what Gods Word says! YOu have a works salvation and I deeply fear this passage applies to you:
Galatians 1:6-9
King James Version
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
If this is the one thing you believe is required for heaven- you are lost.
True, and all at the same time.to get to heaven you have to to ask Jesus into your heart & believe that he has saved you & accept him as your Savior, you must also repent of anything that is wrong in your life & believe that he died for you & rose again
