The Transaction


 

Read Ephesians 2:1-10

 

 

Now is the day of salvation - 2 Corinthians 6:2

 

 

Gain more than half of the US adult population be wrong?  A survey by the
Barna research group recently revealed that 54% say that people who are
generally good and do enough good things for others will are in a place in
heaven.  That is just one up of many methods people suggest as ways to merit
entrance into God's eternal kingdom.

 

Let's think about what has to happen for a person to get to heaven, and why
is the "good works" idea falls short.  First we must recognize that we are
all born spiritually dead.  In Ephesians 2:1, we are taught that we "we're
dead in trespasses and sins."  The spiritual aspect of our existence was
dead on arrival when we were physically barred into this world.  That's all,
however, can be made alive.  Paul described it like this: "for as in Adam
all die, even so in Christ also be made alive" (1 Corinthians games 15:22).

 

To be made alive, a transaction must take place.  Something specific has to
happen to turn what was dead into something alive.  It is not triggered by
good works but happens only when, by faith, you accept God's gift of
salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2; Ephesians 2:8).

 

Is your soul alive today?  If not, make the transaction in except guides
wonderful gift.-David Branon.

 

Choose now, just now; your souls at stake;

what will your answer be?

'Tis life or death; the choice you make

as for eternity.-Anonymous

 

 

Thought for the day: life's biggest decision is what you do with Jesus.
