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 choose 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?
