Are we trusting in ourselves, our own goodness and performance -- in our ability to earn a relationship with God -- or are we depending on Him? Some people believe that Jesus lived, that He was and is the Son of God, that He died on the cross for the sins of the world, and that He arose from the dead, yet still answer the "gate of Heaven question" with, "I've led a good life and done my best." That indicates they haven't yet understood how our sins separate us from a holy God; they are still trusting in themselves, in their goodness, to qualify them for Heaven. They haven't transferred the trust from themselves to Jesus Christ.
