It means that you should strive to live as godly as you can, which for a human is impossible to do completely. To live completely perfectly is only possible through Christ, not by anything you can do on your own.

From Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."\n\nI'd say 99% are just saying Lord Lord, while only 1% are doing the will of the Father.  And they are too busy to stand around saying Lord Lord.

I am only good because my Father who is in heaven sees me through Jesus' eyes.  Jesus paid the ultimate price for my salvation.  No man within himself is good... our righteousness is as firthy rags before God.

Hello happylife22842.. :)\n\nJesus said this:\n\nMatthew 5\n\n3  ¶ Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\n \n4  ¶ Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Is. 61.2 \n \n5  ¶ Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Ps. 37.11 \n \n6  ¶ Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Is. 55.1, 2 \n \n7  ¶ Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.\n \n8  ¶ Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Ps. 24.4, 5 \n \n9  ¶ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.\n \n10  ¶ Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: 1 Pet. 3.14 for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\n \n11  ¶ Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 1 Pet. 4.14 \n \n12  Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets 2 Chr. 36.16 · Acts 7.52 which were before you.\n \n\nThe Salt of the Earth \n13  ¶ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Mk. 9.50 · Lk. 14.34, 35 \n \n\nThe Light of the World \n14  ¶ Ye are the light of the world. Joh. 8.12 ; 9.5 A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.\n \n15  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; Mk. 4.21 · Lk. 8.16 ; 11.33 and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.\n \n16  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 1 Pet. 2.12 \n \n\nJesus' Attitude toward the Law \n17  ¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.\n \n18  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Lk. 16.17 \n \n19  Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.\n \n20  For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.\n \n\nJesus' Attitude toward Anger \nLk. 12.57-59  \n21  ¶ Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; Ex. 20.13 · Deut. 5.17 and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:\n \n22  but I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.\n \n23  Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee;\n \n24  leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.\n \n25  Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.\n \n26  Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.\n \n===========================================================\n\nMatthew 5\n\nLove for Enemies \nLk. 6.27-36  \n38  ¶ Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: Ex. 21.24 · Lev. 24.20 · Deut. 19.21 \n \n39  but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.\n \n40  And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take aw

"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." (John 17:3)\n\nThis is the clearest definition I can find in the Bible. Heaven seems to be the place, but the knowledge of God is the possession.

When someone called him "Good", Jesus said that the only person who is "Good" is his Father, even though he himself was/is perfect in all ways! (Mark 10:18) So, if he isn't "Good", then certainly none of us could be!  This is quite a controversial subject.  So, instead of my telling my views, I'd like to share an article that elaborates on God's view of the subject ...\n\nThe Hereafter---Where Will It Be?\n - Is Earth Just A Testing Ground?\n - Eternal Happiness--In Heaven or on Earth?\nhttp://www.watchtower.org/e/20001001/article_01.htm\n\nI encourage you to check the Scriptures in your own copy of the Bible.\n\n"Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine!" \n1 Th 5:21

Everything that is , has been or will be , is in his perfect will. We can not understand God's perfect will as long as our knwoledge is veiled. For God works even that which is evil for good to those that diligently seek him and abide by his precepts. If your search is to find flaw and imperfection you will arrive soon, if your search is for is glory, both you and I have a long way to get there and we will certainly not accomplish it until that which is perfect returns.
