*NO WORKS WAY TO HEAVEN*
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
_John 14:6 NIV_
A certain man told the person that was trying to get him to accept Jesus as his personal Lord and Saviour that he was better than many believers. According to him, he was doing his best to please God, and he tried not to hurt anyone. When he was told that all his works were not enough, he said that God knew his heart and that was all that mattered. He even added that it was not by reading the Bible, preaching, and going to church that one would prove that one was right with God.
He was wrong. Anyone who does not depend on the finished work of Christ cannot get into Heaven. It does not matter what he or she does to please God. Morality may keep one out of jail, but only oneness with Jesus will keep one out of hell. There is no door into Heaven apart from Christ, the Saviour. As you relate with people today and every day, remember that Christ must be seen in you. Don't try to be a good person to everyone. Live in obedience to Jesus and all will be well. The written Word of God is our Guide and Compass through life.
Not works; grace through faith is the way. This is why no man can boast about anything before God. You are blessed if you truly believe our verse for today. This is why we all must adore Jesus Who sweated, suffered, bled, died and was raised back to life by our heavenly Father to make us children of God.
Every day is a brand new opportunity to live for Christ. A lot of people on earth today think that God is pleased by their good deeds. No! God is only pleased with Jesus. No Jesus, no approval from God. All men, all good works, all philanthropic acts are nothing outside Christ. The Lord wants everyone to know this truth. He wants you to believe it, live by it, and tell it to all. There is no work way to Heaven. Only Jesus is the Way.
*PRAYER GUIDE*
1. Give God praise for the gift of life and for His thoughts of peace towards you.
2. Pray for His mercy if you have not been intentional about honouring Jesus in all you do.
3. Pray that the Lord will give missionaries great success as they attempt to win the lost.
4. Pray that widows, widowers, and orphans will receive divine guidance and support today.
5. Pray about your needs. Pray for the revival of total dependence on Christ among believers. Ask the Lord to deliver men and women from self- righteousness. Ask for wisdom for the leaders of your country. Give God praise for His mercies.
*Inspiring Quote*
