I'm a pretty good person. So that's positive. Although that paragraph is rather vague, so I'm not sure. But I thought there was a clause stating that all Jews get a free ticket? (My words, of course. Not a quote. Just something I recall reading)
Also, where is that quoted from? It seems to read differently than I recall.
It comes from Romans 2:1-11, the fifth book of the NT.
Paul in Romans will answer all your questions pertaining to this. Elsewhere we read from the same book by Paul,
Romans 3:1-12
"Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written,
“That you may be justified in your words,
and prevail when you are judged.” But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.) By no means! For then how could God judge the world? But if through my lie God’s truth abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner? And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.
What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one;
no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”"
And also,
Romans 10:8-13
"But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”"
This statement of confession as Yeshua HaMashiach is what saves in the Christian faith. Verse 13 is noteworthy as it equates Yeshua as YWHW ("“everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”" compared to "if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord"). There are other examples of this, such as Genesis 18:1 where it says Abraham saw YHWH face to face and had an extended dialog with him. Yet take note of this as well,
John 1:18
"No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known."
which is speaking of Yeshua.
