Absolute Humility

For Christians it is written
And it is understood
At least by what they preach
And what they write

That you cannot work yourself
Doing so much charitable work
Good work helping people
To gain entrance to heaven

That you cannot buy the ticket
Give so much money
Perhaps all of it although none will
To gain entrance to heaven

That you cannot reason 
Intellectually come to faith
Understand the truth by logic
To gain entrance to heaven

That you cannot own and preach
The gospel and truth
Perhaps bringing others to faith
To gain entrance to heaven

Working 
Pouring money
Reasoning
Preaching

All good for the Kingdom
Glorifying God yet
None that will open up to them
The gates of heaven

As none of the above
Leads to the state of
Absolute humility
But to arrogance
