A Question Answered
"With what shall I come before the Lord,
and bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams,
with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my first born for my transgressions,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?"
He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice and to love kindness
and to walk humbly with your God?"
Micah 6:6-8 (ESV).
The apostle Paul states,
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8,9
We cannot live a life good enough to enter heaven. All the burnt offerings are insufficient to truly cover our sins. That is why God reached down to us through His one and Only Son Jesus Christ.
It is only through the grace of God that we are saved.
The apostle Peter telling us,
Peter said,
"And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" Acts 2:21
The apostle Paul making it clear,
"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” Romans 10:9-13.
Do you believe in God?
Do you believe in the saving grace that comes through belief in Christ Jesus?
Please think about it.
