Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
THIS IS SERIOUS...
Eternity is a long time. Where will you spend yours?
I went to a "HOMEGOING" service today. It was very much an incredible service. The man had been sick in the hospital. By all accounts, he was a good man. But, being good won't get you into heaven. You can't earn your way in. The Bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
SIDEBAR...
Yes, you still have to do good things because your Christ like nature should compel you as well as your knowledge of God's command to love your neighbor as yourself and to walk in love, think in love etc.
Well back to the story...
God sent a woman of God to the hospital to visit the man, and unlike many saints, she didn't think: "I wish I could get this man to church, or to Pastor So and So or to Sister "Prayright." But, she realized that God wants to add to His family and so she went in to give the man a choice to make a decision that5 would effect him forevermore!
This man willingly decided to choose Christ and as a result at his services today, we celebrated for he will have eternal life!
No one remembers this woman, she isn't famous. But you better believe because she does what is first and foremost in God's heart that in heaven she will be among those who will be first.
God will ask you how many souls you have saved! Oh, c'mon, He will ask you, but what will your answer be?
