How the Glory World is Attained

All religions have a view of the after-life ('heaven') and what is needful to get there. While the religions of the world trust in some form of works righteousness, the Scriptures declare that no one will enter to the glory world except by the righteousness of another, the Lord Jesus Christ. The thief on the cross did not have any opportunity to 'undo' his wicked and unlawful acts, and yet, he was given assurance that he would be with the Lord in paradise that very day in which he died. The aged believer who lives a long life in the service of God is not more fit than the thief on the cross to enter into the glory world.
