Getting In

Good Morning!! When asked how to get to heaven, most will list attributes like leading a good life, live and let live, don't kill, don't steal and just generally be nice to people. The prevailing attitude is that "more good than bad" is all that's needed. But what the most influential Person in history reveals is quite different. And the most important Book of all time, proves that NO ONE is capable of achieving Heaven alone.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.—Romans 10:9 (KJV)

Since we all fall short, how will anyone make it? The answer lies in a substitute-someone, to pay the debt we all owe,...but cannot pay. And not just for a single bad thought or deed. If you can admit you've done worse than that, you've taken the first step. If you recognize your need for a substitute, you've taken the second. If you realize the aforementioned influential Person paid your debt for you and place your trust in Him,...you too will be promptly admitted.

We do not do good works, so that we can be saved,

...we do good works, because we are saved.

 

Jesus is the Christ, and only by His strips are we healed. Amen.

 

"It's not until we forget ourselves, that we usually start doing something others will want to remember."
