We cannot do any amount of good deeds to restore favor with God. That is because God is holy and we are sinful. He is just and we are unjust.
"For by grace you are saved through faith, not of yourself lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
We can not bridge the separation by doing good deeds, but only in trusting in Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the Truth. Because we have turned from truth with our sin we are separated from God. We deserve punishment. But God in his mercy sent Jesus to die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin. That is why Jesus is the Truth who triumphed.
The Cross: When Truth Triumphed
God in His mercy sent Jesus Christ to die on the cross for you. "For Christ also once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God." (I Peter 3:18)
"God showed his love for us in that while we where yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) God’s desire for you is to know the truth. God sent Jesus Christ to this earth. Jesus is truth.
Jesus died for your sins, and He was buried and also arose from the grave on the third day. Jesus is the only one in all of history who has risen from the dead. This is the ultimate truth.
