You died and are now standing before God at the pearly gates of Heaven. God says to you "Why should I let you in?' You're answer is?

My answer is "It is only by the Grace of God."

God dose not ask questions , He just has the answers...........NO POETS OR POETRY ... will get past the Pearly Gate ............... Gee i thought you knew everything political

God, that's up to you, I did my best, i love jesus, the end

Heaven is just one of those false promises in the NT. To make morons afraid not to believe and live their life as subservient morons.

Because I believe Jesus died was buried and resurrected on the third day

We are already there because we are clothed with Christ's righteousness. Therefore, we will not have to provide reasons for being there, or give an account of our sins. Jesus has already taken care of that.

Upon arrival, we will face the Bema Seat where our works will be judged [2 Corinthians 5:10], and this will be followed by the “Marriage Supper of the Lamb” [Revelation 19:7-10]

This day of rewards or (Bema Seat Judgement) is mentioned among other places in [2 Cor 5:10]. This is where rewards will be given or lost depending on how one has used his/her life for the Lord

[1Corinthians 3:13] Some will be rewarded and some will suffer great loss.

The Judge Himself, will assess (and we will be silent) what we have done with the resources He has given us. The life He has given us, the talents, the Spiritual Gifts, the finances, the opportunities in the service of the Lord.

[1 Corinthians 3:13-15] Each man’s work will become evident; for the day will show it, because it is to be revealed with fire; and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work. If any man’s work which he has built upon it remains, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as through fire.

The location for saying why you think God should let you into His Heaven will not be 'the pearly gates'. It will be on the Day of Resurrection and Judgment when the living and all the dead will be given new bodies with which to clothe their spirits so that they can stand for judgment. Those bodies will be designed for either eternal life in Heaven or in hell, depending on the judgment. Books will be opened, and only those whose names are already written in the Book of Life will be ushered into Heaven. The rest will be cast into the eternally burning lake of sulphuric fire. That's in Revelation 20:7-15.

This means that you have to have had your name written in the Book of Life before you die. You cannot write yourself in. Only God does that. He has already decided who will be in His Heaven and who will not. Those who He ushers in are those who agree with His verdict on their sinful state, who have repented of their sin and trusted in His provision for cleansing sinners. They have already passed over from judgment to life, the moment they truly believed, so they will be ushered straight into Heaven, the pearly gates already wide open for them.

But, if I am asked anything on that awesome Day, I would like to say, "Thank you, Lord God Almighty, for providing your Son to bear the punishment I deserve, on that awful cross. I trust in Christ alone and continue to rejoice in the free salvation you granted that day in 1997. I don't deserve it. But in faith I received it and as you adopted me as your child, I call you my loving heavenly Father, and Jesus is my Lord and Savior."

Something like that. The point is, NOBODY should get into Heaven. It is a miracle of grace that ANYbody gets in.

You are now standing before Lucretius and Darwin at the pearly gates of reason. They say, "WTF is wrong with you?" Your answer is . . . ?

Well I never ever believed in you, but here you are, and as, whenever I read your words it said you are a merciful and kind god, I think I may qualify on the grounds of having been just plain wrong about you but know that you forgive me.

There are no pearly gates. When you die, you'll be standing in front of Jesus and he'll say, "Welcome, welcome, I've been looking forward to meeting you!"
