Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.
All it takes is one small mistake to disqualify you from deserving Heaven, because God’s standard is perfection. The sins you’ve committed, the commandments you’ve broken, they condemn you to a miserable existence away from God’s paradise. But if you’ve accepted Christ’s free gift of salvation, your mistakes have been washed away, and you are considered not only innocent in the eyes of God, but as a beloved son or daughter. Now it isn’t your sins that count, but the good deeds you do with a pure heart to serve God. Live in a way that would make Jesus proud, because He is watching, and one day, you will be rewarded for the life you lived.
