100% free of sin

Does the bible teach we require an absolutely sin-free life to make heaven?

We need to be truly repentant (Romans 2), but it's faith in the Lord Jesus Who died at the Cross for sinners, that saves. Hebrews 7.25 says the Lord Jesus 'ever lives to make intercession' for those who believe in Him, always interceding on the basis of His finished, sin atoning work at the Cross.

Blessings.

This is what the bible teaches about sin.

1 John 1
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
 
This is what the bible teaches about making it into heaven.

Matthew 7
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
 
This is what Jesus teaches about those who are His.

John 10
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

If that was the requirement, we'd all fail. Jesus has taken our sins upon his shoulders for us. All we have to do is accept him as our lord and savior and put all our faith and trust in him. Sounds simple but few really find the willpower to actually do it.

The Bible teaches that we are all sinners.Humans sin everyday.But as a Christian our sins are covered with the blood of Jesus Christ,and his death on the cross.
