Free Trip to Heaven?
On my way home from church today I saw a church sign that said " Free Trip To Heaven. Come Inside for Details" I thought to my self, my salvation wasn't free. It was paid in full with the blood and death of Jesus Christ. I find this to be a huge problem with the modern church. False advertisement. Its a good sugary message, Accept Christ and get to go to heaven, see how easy that goes down? In reality once you have become a Christian, there is a price to pay. That price is change. Change in behavior, in friends, in heart, in spirit and in priorities. These things are just some of what the cost will be. Friends will leave you, you may lose your job, your spouse may leave, all the things you hold dear may fade away but the gift of following Christ is worth it. Jesus paid it all, all to him I owe, sin had left a crimson stain but He washed it white as snow. Jesus paid a cost, it as NOT free.

ReplyDeleteThank You Jesus for the price You paid. Never let me think it was not the Highest price ever paid for anything. I know better than others that I am not worth it but accepting His Perfect Gift is the Greatest thing I have ever done
ReplyDeleteI too had a problem with a sign on the way home. The jest of it said to come to church God wants or needs to get to know you. If I read Gods Word correctly there is nothing about me that He has not known from before the foundation of the Earth. It is I that needs to get to know God.
