Here's the good news part--and this is really good news--we are not saved by how good we are, or how much we do. We are saved by God's goodness, when we trust in what He has done (rather than what we might try to do). God has provided us a way of escaping judgment...and he's provided the means to be in relationship with Him--for eternity! God, because of His love for us, paid the penalty for our sin, through Jesus' death and resurrection. He's the only one who can save us. Best news is, it's a gift...free and clear!

For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.  (1 Peter 3:18)

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)

But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.  (Romans 6:23)

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us,  (Romans 5:8)

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.  (2 Corinthians 5:21)
