John 5:29 must be Christ’s friends. John 15:13. Millions of unbelievers do good, but that will not mean they will enter the Kingdom of God.
To be more specific, it doesn’t matter what everyone claim about their belief in Jesus but only those who don’t practice lawlessness and does the will of the Father in heaven will enter the kingdom of heaven. Matt 7:21-23.
Everyone constantly sins, even believers, because we are all born under the condemnation of sin. It is ONLY THOSE, who recognize the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and that sins can be forgiven through him,can have any hope of being with him when he returns to this earth to reign from Jerusalem. Ephesians 2:12 makes this clear.
Who told you that we are all born under the condemnation of sin? We only inherit the curse of death, not sin. What kind of sacrifice of Jesus Christ is required to redeem gentiles who were never under the law to begin with? Christ’s death is only to defeat death. If you obey Him, you enter life. I don’t recall Jesus taught Ephesians 2:12. On the contrary, I have a seperate invitation for the wedding of the King’s Son.
Jesus gave an excellent suggestion to be sinless i.e, to chop off the body parts that is causing to sin. Anyway, that’s only for those who desire to enter life, not for everyone who walks on the broadway.
John 8:31-34 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. … Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, [but] a son abides forever.
Jesus don’t want believing slaves who will be kicked out.
