What will every believer in heaven say about how they got there?
Every believer in heaven will say they are there for one reason: the finished work of the cross. Salvation is by grace through faith, not of works, not by joining or doing something, so no one has room to boast.
Les explains that heaven will not be a place where each believer recounts what he did to get there. Every believer will be able to claim the same thing: “I’m here for one reason—the finished work of the cross. Faith plus nothing.” Salvation is by grace, God’s unmerited favor, through faith, not of yourselves and not by works, joining something, or doing something. It is a gift, so no one has room to boast. Believers are quickened together with Christ, raised up together, and made to sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus, seen by God as already seated there in Him.
