Hey Pickle Bailey. Since my good in life has outweighed my bad and I go to church every week and give big offerings, do you think that will give me my free ticket into heaven one day?
No, it won't. Go see John 3:16.
Are you kidding me? All MY good works should qualify me for SOMETHING! Why don't you go ask your poppa Bailey?
Well, poppa Bailey is a believer but he's not too heavy into the scriptures. However, I will ask him.
Later........
Well, what did your poppa Bailey say? Will I have my ticket to heaven?
No, he says that without John 3:16 you'll be going to that OTHER place! But the good news is he thinks that you will qualify for a buy-one-get-one-free ham 'n cheese biscuit on your way there.
