When Jesus went to wash his feet, Simon Peter didn’t want to be washed. Granted that he didn’t understand then what was being offered but that is an example for everyone who wants to return to heaven by virtue of their own virtue. Unless they accept the cleansing offered by Christ they can have no part in heaven with him. Likewise all those who have accepted the cleansing He offers should similarly seek to serve others by offering cleansing through forgiveness and seeing an example of living in harmony with the teachings of Christ.
