Every born again, blood washed child of God, has been given right standing in Christ, before God's throne in heaven. They have all been awarded the free gift of righteousness and its accompanying gift of eternal life, with the Lord. No Christian can work their way to heaven. It is because they have accepted Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Saviour and repented of their sins, that the marvellous gift of God's righteousness has been bestowed upon them, on their behalf. This righteousness was enabled through belief and repentance by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, on the Cross of Calvary. No one by themselves or any other person or by any other means can do so because it is only through Christ that we can be made righteous.
