Accept and obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ
<Only a miracle of God can save you now><The heart religion of Jesus Christ and His Gospel>

Q.: How good do you have to be to go to Heaven? Only the pure in heart will see God (Matthew 5:8). But how pure is our heart?

"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"
(Jer.17:9)  What a bummer! What can we do about it? There is only one, and really only one solution to the sin problem of our desperately wicked hearts, ask God to perform a miracle and do open heart surgery on you!

Jesus said: "You must be born again" John 3:3

And this we can not do by ourselves, we cannot even repent of sin by ourselves! How do we know that we are sinful?  Only God's Holy Spirit can convict you and cause you to look to the cross of Christ and there you see your sins. Claim God's promise to every sinner and saint:

"And I (God) will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh:
That they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall be My people, and I will be their God."

God here also gives the reason: 'that the may walk in my statutes and keep My ordinances'. Note here that we do not keep God's ordinances that were nailed to the cross, but the Lord's supper baptism and good works after conversion. Lots of people have the wrong idea, i.e., that their works can save them. Good works of a born again Christian comes now naturally from his/her new supernatural heart of God

The old testament prophet Jeremiah foretold of the new testament heart-religion:

"Behold the days come, says the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which My covenant they broke, although I was an Husband to them, says the Lord:
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days (of the cross of Christ), says the Lord, I will put My law in their inwards parts and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people.
Note: there can be no doubts that God's people are those who belong to Christ because it says that if those ordinances depart from Me (sacrificial ordinances fulfilled in Jesus) Israel shall also cease from being a Nation before Me for ever, see Jer.31:36 That Nation rejected God by rejecting Jesus, the very Image and Son of God.
"And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know Me, from the least to the greatest of them, says the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
This is the new testament covenant copied directly to Hebrews 8:10-12 and 10:16 and there is a lot of confusion over these verses simply because British Israelism keeps insisting that God is not finished yet with physical Israel. 
Lets have a quick look at it. The word "Israel' simply means 'overcomer' or an overcomer as a prince with God. Jesus promises eternal life to all overcomers and he is certainly the 'Prince of peace' of the heavenly Jerusalem, which means the city of peace. Every Jew was allowed to call himself an Israelite after Jacob whom God renamed to Israel after he endured an all night prayer wrestling match. Also Paul confirms this in Romans that not every Jew is an Israelite.

Watch out for these 'heresies' which will try and wrench you away from Christ by declaring the Ten Commandments done away with. They will start by telling you that they were only intended for the Jews because God brought them out of Egypt. Have a look at Revelation 11:8 where the atrocities of the French Revolution was prophesied as: "And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of that great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified." So we have also Egypt where we were kept in slavery of sin.  Could you imagine that God only point out sin to the Jews? God says that it was them that broke His holy covenant.  Soon as Moses came down with the first set of the Ten Commandments, they had gone back to Egypt spiritually.
Now our natural hearts are hardened by sin, but looking at the cross will soften it a little bit. But when God takes away our stony hearts, and gives us a new one of flesh, the apostle Paul confirms this in 2.Cor.3 when he says that we do not need recommendations v.1, we have written all over us so that we can be read of all men because it is written in our hearts v.2, and that the spirit of the living God has written the Ten Commandments not on tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart v.3, it was a ministration of death with killing all these animal sacrifices daily vv.6,7, and the glory on Moses face faded v.7, but our glory in Christ we go from glory to glory by the Holy Spirit of God v.18

If you are having trouble finding Jesus the new heart specialist Surgeon, it could be that you are not willing to come and be separate and still be touching the unclean, defiled and corrupt (2.Cor.6:17).  Another reason could be that you are a friend of the world which is enmity with God and you do not want to let go of your worldly things and friends (James 4:4).

Ask Jesus into your heart and change you. "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being anchored and grounded in love". (Eph.3:17).
