In The Pattern (Conviction)

You now know where you are headed. The airport’s called “Jesus.” You have a strong spiritual discomfort and guilt caused by the Holy Spirit showing you your sin and emptiness. But are you sure of a safe landing?

Do you hope to go to heaven by “being good” or “doing the best you can?” The questions you must ask yourself are, “Am I good enough? Have I kept God’s commandments — 100 percent — in thought, word and deed?” Have you missed a few landings, or “greased” every one? If you are perfect, then you can go to heaven by your good life.11 However, “through the law we become conscious of sin…” 12 		 

God’s Goodness Test is a 10 point landing, not merely a “3 point” — each time, every time —
