A man appeared at heaven's gate and was met by an angel, who told him, "It will take one thousand points to get in. Tell me about yourself so that I will know how many points to give you."
The man smiled and said, "Well. I've been going to church almost every Sunday all my life."
"Excellent," the angel said, "That will give you three points. What else?"
The man was shocked, "Only three points?" he gasped. "Well, I followed the ten commandments"
"That will give you ten points" said the angel.
The man gasped again, "At this rate, I will never get in except the grace of God."
"Exactly," the angel said. "Come on in"
Good deeds are very essential. Ultimately, the grace of God which is His unconditional and sacrificial love for you is the door through which we enter into the kingdom of God.
