Calvin asked a good question. Many believe that good works alone will somehow grant them access into heaven and that bad people will not be allowed in. How many good works is enough? As much as or more than your neighbor or some famous person? Who is the scorekeeper? Who sets the standard? It is not by works that we are granted eternal life, but it is by faith in God and embracing the atoning sacrifice of Christ. I can’t prove there is a heaven, nor can anyone on earth prove there is not a heaven, so I’d rather err on the side of faith in God.
