Why am I going to Hell in your eyes?

[DArceri]

You are right. God is righteous and HOLY.....No one is righteous in GOD'S eyes. WE ARE ALL SINNERS....God gave us the 10 commandments to show us that we are sinners. No one is free of sin based on the 10 commandments. Since God IS Holy and requires perfection, how do we as human's get to be with God.?
God sent His Son to solve that problem...Jesus paid for our sins on the cross.....No actions we do can make us righteous in Gods eyes. NONE.... It is only through Jesus that one is saved. NO ONE SHOULD BE UPSET AT THIS. It is God's LOVE for us that He offered His Son to us...

 

[PETE_]

You can try and live a good life but that does not mean that you have accpeted Christ. Refer to the story of the rich young ruler. He was doing all the right things, but Christ was not Lord of his life and he left unsaved.

 

[DArceri]

That was before Jesus...God called them righteous through their Godly faith in Him. Faith has been the key to salvation in both the old and the new covenant (Jesus).


READ ROMANS CHAPER 4,,.Here is a few lines:
13It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

16Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. 17As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations."[c] He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.

20Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. 22This is why "it was credited to him as righteousness." 23The words "it was credited to him" were written not for him alone, 24but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.


ALL OF THEM HAD FAITH AND IT WAS COUNTED TO THEM AS RIGHTEOUS....So you are right they are counted righteous, but you left out why...IT IS NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE GOOD (THEY ALL WERE SINNERS), IT IS BECAUSE OF THERE FAITH IN GOD.

 

[Confess]

Those who are faithful are righteous in God's eyes.

Noah believed and was considered righteous. Faith is what joins us to Him.

 

[DArceri]

Your right, but why do you obey God?...Don't you have to believe in God first? It is FAITH in Him that brings about obedience. You obey Him because you believe in Him and want to please Him. If you don't believe in God but try to be a good person, you will never be righteous in His eyes. Now, if God makes a new promise, and sends His Son to us as a "propitiation" for our sins, why would you not want to believe in and obey Jesus' words. The Son came to reveal the purpose of the Father, AND THAT REVELATION WAS WHAT? He who believes in the Son will have eternal life.

 

[Zeena]

It's the Life of Christ in us who obey's, as we surrendor our lives to Him and are filled with the fullness of God by The Holy Spirit..

By faith, GOD's Faith in and through us..

His Name is Jesus!
