Are You Sure?

Good Morning! John 29:10 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Fathers hand. Let me ask you something, do you know beyond a shadow of doubt that you are going to Heaven? You see this is one of Satan's biggest lies that he tells us. He has been doing it to me lately. He uses Guilt and lack of assurance about our salvation to convince us we are not good enough to get there. You see that is the problem with many of us, especially me here of late. It is that deep down many of us feel our salvation is up to us. And that we can only get to heaven if we are good enough and by the deeds we do. Somebody was talking to me yesterday and we were talking about whoever took their lawn mower and that God was really going to get down on this person. Well if that is the case, they stole a lawn mower. Then I am in big trouble, cause that is like stealing candy (which I might add is the same sin, cause sin is sin) compared to some of the things I've done in my life. But you see this devotion today reminded me of what it is really all about. You see the key is to understand that Christ took away all our sins, not just some of them. ALL OF THEM! No matter how good we are we can't save ourselves. Because God demands perfection. But Christ who was without sin, did for us what we could not do for ourselves. He took ALL our sins upon Himself, and took the death and hell we deserve. He paid the price! And now we owe nothing. So today know you are saved if Jesus is your Savior. And don't think you will go cause you do good things and those who do bad won't. Cause you just might be surprised that person you don't think will make it there might be standing right next to you up there one day. Jesus died for us all. HABD!
