When I was six years old I heard a Bible lesson about heaven and thought that sounded great. I was disappointed when it was explained to me that I couldn’t go there unless I was perfect, and I clearly wasn’t. I was shown that Jesus had died to take the penalty for the wrong I’d done, and made it so God would see me as perfect. Since then, although I have struggled occasionally with sinful and selfish things, I try to learn more about him each day, and try to live my life as my heavenly father would want me to live.
