NASB | Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace [God's remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; |
Bible Question: So, say there is someone who commits murder/rape and then is "saved" and repents their sins afterwards. They go to heaven, right? However, say there is someone who goes through life doing nothing but good things for everyone, and never does a bad thing, except, they don't believe in God and don't accept Jesus. They go to hell? That doesn't make too much sense to me. |
Bible Answer: Our going to heaven is not based on what we do or do not do. It's fully based on what Christ has done for us, Ephesians 1:4-5. |
