Horseshoes is one of the only game where close enough actually earns some points. I don't know if there is any other game that has that scoring anomaly.
Unfortunately, many people go through life as if close enough or good enough will gain entry into heaven. God's Word tells us differently.
Romans 3:10-12 as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE.
So God clearly tells us that no one can be good enough because no one does any good at all. In fact, all are sinners and fall short of being able to do any good.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Many of you may take exception to that fact. You try to do good deeds all the time. God says even those deeds are not good or good enough.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Salvation is the gift from God. It is free to you but it wasn't free to Jesus Christ, it cost Him a painful death on a cross. You have to make a choice, do you want death or life?
