What must a sinner possess : To Go To Heaven ?

[Behold]

Reader,

"all have sinned", and the Law and 10 Commandments were given by MOSES to show us that we are all guilty of our sin, before Holy God.

Now, hopefully we can all agree that we came to Christ as a SINNER.

But not all believe this or teach this truth.... and as far as i can tell by this members harmful posts...= EPISKAPOS does not agree that He was or is, a sinner.
So, you remember that the next time He shows up here with another Video.

Now, let me show you what you must POSSESS forever, forever, and forever, if you want to go to Heaven.
And you want to go right? ??? As the only other option is a very terrible and eternal situation, and Jesus shed His Blood for us so that we dont have to go there...

Reader,
.....to understand what it is that you must possess so that you may go to Heaven, we will look at 2 bible characters.
One from the OT and the other from the NT.

Adam the 1st
&
Paul the Apostle.

So....Starting with Adam.. we find that He had something amazing that was LOST, once He sinned.
And what was that?
Well, Adam was "created in God's image".. so He had something very specific before He lost it by sinning it away.
And what He lost was : God's own Righteousness.
Adam lost God's Righteousness that was HIS, that Adam possessed, until He sinned it away.

Reader, do you understand what this Righteousness actually is?
Its God's own essence, Its God's own LIGHT, and its God's own Holiness., and its even more but let us just understand that what Adam had was God's own Righteousness, before he sinned it away.
And so, when that Righteousness was lost, then Adam's spiritual and eternal relationship to/with God was LOST.

Now sometimes a Preacher like me refers to sinners as being "lost".....and that "lost" means they are in the same situation that Adam found himself in when he LOST God's Righteousness, by sinning it away.
A sinner has no righteousness of their own.

See that?

Now, all of us have sinned, so that means that we dont have any righteousness of our own, and most especially we dont have God's Righteousness.
And because of this, there is no way we can go to heaven after we die, unless we again possess God's Righteousness.

NOW, how does a sinner get God's Righteousness???? because without it we can't go to Heaven, and we can't have a eternal relationship with God.

Reader..
.... God understands our ETERNAL problem perfectly........and therefore God created a WAY for you and me to receive from Him = His own Righteousness, as "The Gift of Righteousness"... And this is why God sent Jesus to The Cross..... as Jesus is the only WAY that we may receive from God "The Gift of Righteousness"..
God's righteousness comes THROUGH Jesus, to "All who will believe"?

See that?
That is Paul's Gospel. and that is why Paul teaches that "we preach CHRIST CRUCIFED"... to the world of LOST unbelievers.

A.) Jesus is the only """"WAY""... JOHN 14:6.... whereby a sinner can receive God's Righteousness, for ETERNITY, = which ensures that all who possess it, will go to Heaven and not to Hell, after we die.

Now, to understand how we get God righteousness from God....as our eternal possession, as Adam once had it... we open The word of God and we find Paul's NT epistles that Peter once had in his hands and claimed truthfully that Paul's Letters are : SCRIPTURE.
And the reason we go to Paul's for all this information (doctrine) , is because JESUS taught Paul all the revelation (doctrine) that Paul was sent to teaches us, so that we can not only possess God's Righteousness, but we can understand it as well and then share it with the LOST... or with the sincere Bible student, as im doing now for you.

So, How does Paul teach that we may receive from God..... = God's very own RIGHTEOUSNESS ?????????
And now Reader, you have to do a small amount of Bible study, and Paul via the Holy Spirit will show you and teach you.. .HOW you may possess God's righteousness, forever., and some of you, like me... already have it.

A.) If you have a bible, and if you care to know, then simply turn to Romans 3:21-28 and Ephesians 3 vs 6-9, and 13,14 & 26,29 .....and study them for a few mins.
If you have no bible, but you want to study this spiritually impactful and vital teaching , then i suggest you use a KJV and an Amplified Classic....and you can find them easily online.
And In these verses , you will find Paul explaining to you exactly how ABRAHAM received God's Righteousness, (before Moses law was given ).... which is exactly the same way you will receive it from God.

AA.) Its "BY FAITH".... and Paul defines it as the 'IMPUTED Righteousness" that comes from GOD, as a "GIFT".... and once you have God's ""Gift of Righteousness"""... once you possess it.. then God defines you as becoming....

= "THE Righteousness OF GOD.....In Christ".. "An Heir of God"....a "joint Heir with Jesus", and a "Saint" and a "Brethren", and a "Lively stone", and "The temple of the Holy Spirit".

So if any of you want to learn exactly what it means to eternally possess God's Righteousness so that Heaven can always be yours, then do a little study of those extremely vital verses.

Total surrender, carry our OWN cross every single day...a life of serving equaling TRUE worship-

Romans 12:1-2 "1 Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

Gods grace. Acceptence of the free gift of salvation in Christ. Most of all I think humility.

Correct... although I think of humility not being essential for salvation, but rather it is a fruit of our faith in Christ.

4But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:4-7

It iis a fruit as we desire to please God. But I think humility is required to acknowledge we are a sinner. Often the battle for souls comes down to pride. To not wanting to submit to someone and especially God.

People may experience suffering and come to a crossroad where they are defeated and are then willing to ask or invite God into help.

I see pride as the greatest impediment to salvation today where people believe they are the gods of their own world. But its amazing how being knocked off that perch can bring people back down to earth. Still it takes faith but once saved we are transformed in mind and spirit.

4But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:4-7

I think the love that comes from Gods grace is what penetrates through on a personal level. No amount of evidence and words can convince a person.

In practical terms Christs love turns the world upside down. Christs sacrifice is a contradiction to the world. It makes no sense or is even seen as foolish. Yet this simple act has changed lives and offered light where there is darkness in the world.

1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

13In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

12Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
