Question

Can a person get into heaven by good works or merits?

Answer

But, oh, how infallible—how many infallible proofs we have that there’s a—heaven is, and we’re going there someday. And just as sure as we’re in Christ, God shall bring those with Him who are keeping Christ at that day. And we…So many people try to work themself into it. So many people try to do so many merits to get in. It’s not by good works; it’s not by your merits, nothing you could do or nothing that you could work yourself to; it’s believing Him, accepting. By faith are you… There He hangs on the cross. You’ll never have to stand the judgment. God judged your sins in Him. See? God judged Him, and He took your place. Is that right? We were guilty, alienated from God, without hope, without mercy, Gentiles, carried away with dumb idols, aliens from God. And Christ took our place.
