EXPOSITION:

If you know what it means to believe a doctor when he says, “You need surgery,” you know what it means to have faith. If you know what it means to step into an airplane entrusting your safety to the captain in the cockpit, you know what it means to have faith.

If you know what it means to ask a lawyer to plead your case in court, you know what it means to have faith. Faith is complete reliance upon another person to do that which you could never do for yourself.

Anyone, anywhere, anytime, can be saved by trusting in Christ, that is the Good News of the Gospel. There is no other hope of heaven outside of Jesus Christ. Even though you are saved unto good works, good works without Christ cannot save you. Church membership cannot save you. Giving money cannot save you.

Nothing you can do will make the least bit of difference concerning your eternal salvation. If you are trusting in your good life or in your religion to get you to heaven, someday you will be sadly (and eternally) disappointed. Jesus is the hope of our salvation. He is the anchor of our soul.

REFLECTION

Only trust Him and He will save you! For Jesus shed His precious blood. Rich blessings to bestow; Plunge now into the crimson flood. That washes bright as snow.
