"The kingdom of heaven is an ascending escalator. It's on a foundation of grace...not on human performance or effort. And the amazing thing about this ascending escalator is even if you fail or make a mistake or sin, as you fall down on an ascending escalator...when you get up, to your amazement the escalator hasn't stopped - it's kept going, and you look around you and you're still going up!"

"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death."
Romans 8:2
The kingdom of heaven is an ascending escalator! Even when we fail He is still bringing us up, up, up! His Life trumps all our sin, self-effort, struggle and falling. All those things are just shadows of the old creation, which is death. But we've been placed into the new creation, which is Life. And Life trumps death every time! We are carried up and away by His LIFE! We are sustained and uplifted by the power of an indestructible life, by the power of the resurrection life of Christ Himself within us through His Spirit. So up we go!
A Thought: With God, I have nowhere to go but up!
