You won't like my answer! You have to be 100% perfect if you want to get into God's heaven and be accepted by Him. " What?" you say in amazement."That's not fair. I try so hard but I can't be 100% good. What human being can?" You see if you told me you were 80% per cent good, I as a fellow human being would think you were doing pretty well, but I am not making the rules.
