It is a common belief that getting into heaven is as simple as doing the right thing and being a good person. However, scripture tells us that getting into heaven is not the result of works. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works so that no one can boast.” While God wants us to live a positive life where we do good by our neighbors, all the good we do in this life won’t get us into heaven. Getting into heaven is a result of true faith in Jesus Christ. The reason why can be found directly in the Bible.

We have been given the power to say “no” to all sin and all ungodliness. The Bible tells us we’ve also been given a new nature and identity, one that is not compelled to sin. Here are six surefire ways to kill sin.
