the Bible says that there is no way we can re-establish contact with God- ever tried pulling yourself up by your own shoelaces? None of the good things we try will ever succeed in us getting to know God, far less gaining admission to heaven!
For by grace you are saved, through faith, it is the gift of God, not
of works, lest any man should boast.
The Bible: Ephesians 2:8,9 - NKJV
all our righteous acts are like filthy rags
The Bible: Isaiah 64:6 - NKJV
