Believers have these crazy debates about whether or not you "have to" do good works in order to get to heaven.
One side says good works are unnecessary. All you need is belief in Jesus.
The other says you have to obey Jesus as your Lord or you get locked out.
Back and forth and round and round it goes.
There are big problems with the entire discussion, beginning with the fact that none of us are even going to heaven.
According to Scripture, in the end heaven and earth are renewed and heaven comes down to earth. We stay put.
Salvation isn't about escaping earth. (This thought alone would make many Christian heads explode.)
But back to the core argument - do we have to do good works or not?
To me that's like asking, "To consider myself married, do I have to have daily conversations with my wife, spend time with her, willingly do what she asks of me, and kiss her or was saying 'I do' once at the church altar enough?"
