If clicking the article title leads to Although Heaven is not about having more good works as compared to evil deeds for "Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began" (2 Timothy 1:9), the problem is that most Christians dismiss good works entirely, including the keeping of the commandments. They forget that "not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified" (Romans 2:13). We are to live according to the commandments and repent from our sins along with confessing them to receive grace made possible by the blood of Jesus and freely administered by God. Grace, however, is not to permit sinning and is not applied to those who continue to sin "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins" (Hebrews 10:26).
