>>10220748>How can you be a good person just by believing Jesus died for our sins?First of all, only God is good. You can't be good because you helped someone once or twice.
Romans 3:12
>They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.>How can a just god send a virtuous person to hell just because they never believed in Jesus's sacrifice? You need to understand the problem here, instead of being "relative" in your own eyes, you need to put yourself in God's eyes. God is Holy and just therefore He has to judge sin, if God wasn't 100% just and perfect but only 90% imagine how much people would blame God for this and that, they already do that when He is 100% perfect. So yes, every single small sin has to pass through judgement.
Romans 3:23
>For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;See that, because of sin we are going to hell. Good works are great and all, but that's not a pass to Heaven, you must understand, but the law was necessary for Jesus to be born to begin with and start the ultimate salvation plan. Which is, God Himself took the sins of the world upon Himself and thus died, Jesus wouldn't even die if He didn't lay his life for us, death only exist because we sin and that's the price of sin, death.
Now you can understand Ephesians 2:8, you're saved by faith through grace, why? Otherwise God's sacrifice would be in vain, He paid the full price and that's the gift, but you need to believe in your heart and declare with your mouth.
