There is much debate between Christians and Jews about how to get to Heaven. Jews believe that all who obey a set of moral laws deserve a place in Heaven. These laws apply to all people, not just Jews. Even in the Bible God states several times there is one law for all peoples. Here are a couple of examples: Deuteronomy 31:12: Gather everyone- men, women, children, and the foreigners who live among you, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and observe to do all the words of this law.
Leviticus 18:26: But all of you must keep my rules and my regulations. You must not do any of these detestable things, neither citizen nor immigrant who lives with you.

Christians, on the other hand, believe that faith in Jesus is the only path to Heaven. But you may wonder about why Christians are quick to state aspects of God's law for different areas in life. Most of the laws Christians are stating are only found in the Old Testament.

Example:
In recent history, and still a topic of concern, is the homosexual agenda. Why are Christians so concerned? The law comes from Leviticus 20:13: If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
This law is clear, homosexuality is wrong. Jesus did not come to destroy the law, and because of this Christians still prefer to uphold God's law as stated in the Old Testament.

The New Testament begins with the coming of Jesus, covers His life and ministry, and His death and resurrection. It is true the New Testament does say the law does not get you into Heaven. The Old Testament did state following God's laws is good for long life.

Deuteronomy 6:1-2: "These are the commands, decrees, and regulations that the LORD your God commanded me to teach you. You must obey them in the land you are about to enter and occupy, and you and your children and grandchildren must fear the LORD your God as long as you live. If you obey all his decrees and commands, you will enjoy a long life.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

So then who is correct? The answer is right there in the Bible. Living by the law does not get you into Heaven, nor does accepting Jesus gives you permission to go out and commit crimes in this life. God's law is for all people world wide to live by in this life, and the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the way into Heaven.
