God is good, absolutely good. If He is not, then heaven can never be heavenly. Likewise, those who enter heaven must be absolutely good; any sin would make heaven look like…well…this life and this fallen world. The Bible says no one is righteous, no, not one person (Romans 3:10). All have sinned and fallen short (Romans 3:23). So to enter heaven, we must have our sin nature put to death, and we must be cleansed, made holy, good and righteous by a just but loving God. This is possible when we accept what Christ did for us on the cross. “He who knew no sin was made sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” II Cor. 5:21. That’s the Good News we proclaim.
