Reaching God through Jesus (9.27.16)

There is a way that appears to be right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. -  Proverbs 14:12

Faith Believers,
Proverbs warns us that sometimes what seems right to us, leads to disaster. This is especially true regarding our attempts to reach GOD.

GOD didn’t create us as robots to love and obey Him. He gave us a will and freedom of choice. None of us are perfect.  From time to time, we all have chosen to disobey GOD and go our own willful way. The result is separation from GOD. I recently heard a pastor say that the way to heaven is through good works, religion, philosophy, and morality. But all those ideas are wrong. No bridge reaches GOD except one — Jesus.

Jesus died on the cross and rose from the grave, paying the penalty for our sins and bridging the gap between GOD and people. He is the only way we can be saved; we must make a choice by trusting Jesus as Lord and Savior. To do this, we must confess that we are a sinner and be willing to repent and turn from our sins.

Then, we must believe that Jesus died on the cross, rose from the grave, and invite Him into our lives as Lord and Savior. This is the only way to truly reach GOD.

Lord GOD,
I am a sinner and I repent of my sins.
I believe that Jesus died in my place
and rose from the grave.

I invite Him to come in and
control my life through the Holy Spirit.

I receive Him as Lord and Savior.
Amen.
