And your idea of the alternative? Salvation by works? Salvation by good intention? What--- in your mind--- ought to be the trigger concept for God to admit someone into His presence?
Salvation by righteousness. Jesus taught that one must become righteous, i.e., one must become one with God: one must follow the will of God, one cannot continue to commit sin, etc.
