Good Morning!! God offers us a place in heaven for all eternity, and this gift is for everyone who takes the step of accepting Christ Jesus as savior. And when Jesus is a part of our lives, we'll want to do good.
By grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God -- not the result of works, so that no one may boast.—Ephesians 2:8-9 (NRSV)
As Christians, we really should feel confident of our place in heaven,...but good deeds isn't what makes this possible. Jesus eliminated the need for good deeds, when he took upon Himself the punishment for all our sins, on Calvary.
We have an eternal home in heaven awaiting us.
Nothing we did got it,...and nothing we do can mess it up.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your love that brings us joy in this life,...and assurance of spending eternity with You in heaven. In the name of Jesus, our savior and friend. Amen.
"The fact that God makes good out of our wrong does not make our wrong right."
