Heaven's Entrance Exam

A man dies and goes to heaven. Of course, St. Peter meets him at the

Pearly Gates. St. Peter says, "Here's how it works. You need 100 points

to make it into heaven. You tell me all the good things you've done, and I

give you a certain number of points for each item, depending on how good

it was. When you reach 100 points, you get in."

"Okay," the man says, "I was married to the same woman for 50 years

and never cheated on her, even in my heart."

"That's wonderful," says St. Peter, "that's worth three points!"

"Three points?" he says. "Well, I attended church all my life and supported

its ministry with my tithe and service."

"Terrific!" says St. Peter. "That's certainly worth a point."

"One point?!!" "I started a soup kitchen in my city and worked in a shelter

for homeless veterans."

"Fantastic, that's good for two more points," he says.

"Two points!?!!" Exasperated, the man cries. "At this rate

the only way I'll get into heaven is by the grace of God."

"Bingo, 100 points! Come on in!"

Great joke to illustrate a greater point.  It is not a persons works that make the difference, it is only the "grace of God," which is through faith in Jesus Christ.
