How does one enter the kingdom of heaven?

Answered in 2 sources

One must be born again and possess a righteousness that exceeds that of the Pharisees to enter the kingdom of heaven.

To enter the kingdom of heaven, as stated in Matthew 5:20, one must have a righteousness that exceeds that of religious leaders, specifically the Pharisees. This indicates that mere outward conformity to the law is insufficient. Instead, it requires being born again, which is described in John 3:3-5 as a spiritual rebirth that grants the believer the ability to see and enter the kingdom. This transformation is rooted in God's grace, where believers are made partakers of divine righteousness, resulting in a humble recognition of their need for God's mercy.
