The Lord is persistently beckoning at the entrance to your heart. But He’s also a gentleman, and will never force Himself on you. No, it’s entirely your decision to open that door…to invite Him into your life and experience true fellowship with Him.

Hebrews 2:1 We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.”
Remember with me the very first time you heard the Gospel Message explained to you. At that moment, the gift of Salvation was offered and you accepted. But since that time, when you hear the Gospel Message, does it still stir you with thankfulness and gratitude, or are you apathetic to the words? This scripture tells us to be on guard of falling away from our first love, and becoming a lukewarm Christian.
Ephesians 2: 8-9 ” 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.”
Sorry, but we can’t “work” our way into heaven. That spiritual score sheet we’ve been keeping means nothing to the Lord. We will never do enough in His eyes to qualify for a free pass to the Pearly gates. It is only by His grace, unearned and unmerited, that we are granted this gift of salvation… so that none of us can brag about what “we” did.
