If we are honest about it, most people do not
have a clue as to just how bad the human heart really is without Christ. Most people see themselves in a much better
light than God sees them. Most look at
others and consider themselves just as good, or better, than them. Most do not see themselves as bad
people. They believe that they are good
enough just as they are and when they die they will go to heaven.
God does not see us the same way that we see
ourselves. He knows what the heart is
really like behind our “goodness” or persona.
He looks at the heart and if He does not see the righteousness of Christ
blanketing it, condemns the soul to hell.
He knows that without Christ no one can ever be good enough for heaven
for the heart is by nature sinful and deserving of hell.
God searches every heart and examines every
motive. He knows the reason why we do
what we do and judges us accordingly. He
does not cater to our sins. He has shown
us clearly how we can get rid of our sins and be good enough for heaven. He has given us opportunity to chose whether
or not we will accept the righteousness of Christ as our own or depend on our
own. Because He loves us, God provided a
way for us to get rid of our sins, Jesus.
Only Jesus can forgive and take away our sins. Each day lived without Christ is one day
closer to an eternity in hell.
God declares very clearly and boldly that we
will get what we deserve. Our living
will either affirm our belief in Him or it will betray what we profess to
believe. We will be judged not by what
we believe, but how we live. Faith
without the works proving it is not saving faith. Saving faith is holy living. Without it, no one will see God.
It is impossible to fool God. You will get exactly what you deserve when
you die, heaven or hell. The choice is
yours to make. Choose today whom you
will serve. As for me, I choose to live
in Christ and go to heaven when I die.
Will I see you there?
