You Can’t Earn Heaven — It’s a Gift

Many still think salvation is a reward — something you earn if you’re “good enough.” But that’s not the message of Jesus. The Gospel isn’t about what you do; it’s about what He already did.

If Heaven were earned, then the Cross was pointless. Jesus didn’t come to make bad people good — He came to make dead people alive. You can’t earn grace; you can only receive it.

That’s what makes it so powerful. You don’t have to climb up to God — He came down to you. He meets you in your sin, not after you’ve cleaned it up. He calls you His child not because you’re perfect, but because He is.

Salvation is not a wage; it’s a gift. And all He asks is that you open your heart and receive it.
