How can we enter the kingdom of heaven?

Answered in 1 source

We can enter the kingdom of heaven only through the righteousness of Christ, which surpasses all human efforts.

Jesus states in Matthew 5:20 that unless our righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. This stark statement reveals that human righteousness is insufficient. The scribes and Pharisees had an outward understanding of righteousness but failed to grasp its inward demand. True righteousness is a divine quality that can only be found in Christ. He fulfilled the law perfectly and provides His righteousness to those who believe. Therefore, our entry into the kingdom hinges not on our works but solely on faith in Christ's completed work.
