In today's culture, where everyone gets a trophy, where everyone is special, to say, "You are not good enough." is shocking, even hateful is some circles, but it is the truth. In all faiths, except Christianity, the god asks for you to be good enough, like there is some cosmic scale in the afterlife where your good deeds are measured against your sins. If you can just be good enough you will get to heaven. This is not new and it is not enlightened.
Why do you think Muslims blow themselves up in the name of Allah? Why do you think Mormons walk door to door? Why do the Jehovah's Witnesses hand out tracks to strangers at a gas station? Why do Hindus and Buddhist leave food offerings for deities? Why do all other religions demand that their followers be good enough, do enough.... How do you ever know when it IS enough? The short answer is, you don't. Not until you die and then it's too late. Where is the peace in that?
Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6.
"For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
Pray - Jesus, I know that I am not good enough to save myself.
