God doesn’t send good people to Hell. In order to consider ourselves “good”, we typically have to overlook much of what we think about, and a lot of what we have done. Conversely, God doesn’t send good people to Heaven, either. “Good” is simply not “good enough” in light of Heaven’s perfection and God's standards. A loving God rescues creatures who are imperfect, by offering us the free gift of forgiveness (Romans 6:23). When we accept this offer, we become “positionally” perfect (Hebrews 10:14) by clothing ourselves in the perfection of Jesus.
