To Gain Admission

Scripture Reference:

• Acts 4:12 (NKJV): “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

A list of good deeds will not get you into any sporting event or concert on earth.
A 51% success rate of driving without an accident will not earn you a driver’s license anywhere.
Being polite, honest, or well-intentioned will not pay for your meal in a restaurant.
Good intentions alone will not secure you a job anywhere in the world.

So why do so many people assume that simply being a good and decent person will guarantee them a place in Heaven?

The truth is clear: salvation comes only through Jesus Christ. No amount of human effort, moral behavior, or good intentions can earn eternal life. Only by accepting His sacrifice and trusting in His name can we gain true admission into God’s Kingdom.

Prayer and Encouragement

As we reflect on this truth, let us also remember the world around us. War clouds are rising, and our hearts must lift in prayer. Pray for Israel and for those on our “active military” prayer list. For guidance on how to pray, see the pray newsletter for suggestions.

Let us place our trust fully in Christ, sharing His love and hope with all we encounter.
