So are you, you just don't realize it yet.
Tyreek has spent a lot of his off time making amends. Do a little research.
Jesus loves you more than Tyreek, huh? If this is true why did he have to sacrifice his life dying for us then ?
If our good works could save us why did Jesus have to die ?
Let me guess, in your mind if there just happens to be a God when you die, you literally think you will be able to be your own lawyer on judgement day and that God the Father will buy your argument that you are a good guy, correct ? That you are perfectly pristine and are perfect in every way and have never sinned EVER ! Can you really say that ?? That you are perfect ??
Just know that God cannot be in the presence of sin and you must be perfect to be in the presence of God let alone enter into His kingdom for eternity. You see, Bus you are not perfect and neither am I or anyone else who has ever lived. And because we need to be perfect in order to be in the presence of God and enter into Heaven for eternity
the only way that we can be perfect in God eyes is for God to see that Jesus actually lives in our heart. If God sees His son living in our heart because we have repented of our sin and believed that Jesus died for our sin and then rose from the dead to deliver life to all who will give their lives to Him then we are saved . We can never do enough "good works" on our own apart from Christ to justify our own salvation because we can never be sinlessly perfect in our own strength apart from Jesus.
Ever watch someone be their own lawyer ?? It's a disaster most of the time.
If Jesus is not your lawyer living in your heart on judgement day you are screwed.
Most people really don't see themselves in need of a savior let alone as a sinner. Many people say they believe in God and that Jesus is the Christ. Great, even the demons believe that. Many people "know about" Jesus but very few "know" Jesus. Big difference.
One of the most sobering verses for me in the NT of the Bible comes from Jesus's own lips(God's own mouth) where He say's in Matt 7:13-14 -
13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life,
and only a few find it.
Right here in this verse Jesus say's that most will not make it to Heaven because they created their own theology depending on their own works as opposed to the perfect work of Christ on the cross. When you say Jesus loves me more than Tyreek because of........ then what you are essentially saying is I am my own god and I am in no need of Jesus and I am perfect to be in the presence of a perfect and Holy God in my own strength. Trust me you are not. Man in his own strength ranks the sins(which is what you are doing comparing yourself to Tyreek) but God/Jesus say's sin is sin regardless and you are sinfully flawed and need of my Son Jesus. When you reject the message of Jesus then you essentially are telling God I don't need your Son because I can be perfect on my own".
The last thing you want to hear on judgement day from Jesus is "Depart from me I never "knew" you". Matt 7:22-24 -
22Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? 23
Then I will tell them plainly, I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness. 24Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
Many will say on judgement day, "Hey God, you know I never got into the whole Jesus thing but it's not like I didn't respect his teaching and the good he did because I really did, but you know I just didn't feel at the time for me that I could commit to him.
And God will say to that person: "Depart from me I never "knew" you."
