What gives Christians the right to enter heaven?

Answered in 1 source

Christians' right to enter heaven is granted through the righteousness of Christ, which is imputed to them.

The right of believers to enter heaven is rooted in the righteousness of Christ, as indicated in Isaiah 61:10, where it states that God clothes His people with garments of salvation and the robe of righteousness. This means that believers are not accepted on the basis of their own deeds but rather on the perfect obedience and sacrifice of Jesus. Just as a man in the parable of the wedding feast was cast out for lacking a wedding garment, believers are assured access to heaven because they are clothed in the righteousness that Christ earned through His perfect life. This highlights the critical principle that salvation is entirely a work of grace, reflecting the glory of God's plan for His people.
