I read a story about a man who died and went to heaven. When
he got to heavens gate, he was met by the apostle Peter. Peter then told him
that for him to get into heaven, he would require 100 points. Then the man
started out.
He said “I was faithful
to my wife in marriage for 50
years.” Peter said “wow, that's nice. That will earn you 3 points.” He said
again, “I had a restaurant from which I gave food to the poor every Christmas.”
“Oh that's wonderful,” the apostle said, “that will earn you 1 point.” “Then the
man said what just 1 point. That's impossible. All my major good works, and I
get just 4 points. The only way I'm gonna get into this gate is by the grace of
God.” Then Peter said “yeah, now u have 100 points. Come on in.”
The bible makes it very clear to us that we are saved by
grace through faith and not by faith alone,or grace alone ,but by both of them.
No one can qualify for the goodness of God by his good works but by faith in
the saving grace of Lord Jesus. I need you to understand that God loves you because
He is love and not because you are lovely. Alada. So walk to day in the consciousness of that
love. Why love? Well that's simple. The
apostle Paul prayed that the brethren will understand (Greek-ginosko-meaning
revelation knowledge) the love of Christ which surpasses all knowledge (Greek-gnosis-scientific
knowledge) that they may be filled with all the fullness of God. What does it
mean to be full of God. It means ......
this will be discussed in another article. But then, meditate upon the love and
grace of God for this will make you a master over the circumstances and
situations of this life.Hallelujah
