It is always interesting to ask people if they think that they are saved and are going to Heaven.
Most people will answer yes. And actually when you question them, they will say, "I am a good person - I go to Church, I read my Bible, I give to the poor".
And actually, that is exactly what the Bible says that we are not going to Heaven if we believe that we are good.
For Paul in Romans tells us unequivocally that we are not good. For we are all sinner and we have all fallen short of the Glory of GOD.
And it is no use comparing ourselves to robbers and murderers and thieves and liars and thinking that we are better. Because we are not. For all have sinned. It is that simple.
So if we deceive ourselves into thinking that we are good, we are denying what GOD did for us in sending Jesus to die on a cross for us. It is throwing the grace of GOD back at GOD.
Therefore we have to accept the immutable fact that we are sinners and we need to repent and to ask GOD to forgive us and then to believe that Jesus came to save us from our sin and then we need to confess this truth with our mouths.
Then we are saved. And only then. So today, let us confess to our FATHER in Heaven that we are sinners.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I confess that I am a sinner. I believe in Jesus Christ as my only Redeemer, the only way to YOU. I call on the name of Jesus Christ to save me from my sins. I pray this in the Holy name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay faithfully GOD blessed today!
