It was dark and foggy. Unsure of himself a man...

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
Romans 3:24

It was dark and foggy. Unsure of himself a man was groping his way along the harbour wall. He took a false step, fell into the water and screamed for help. Then it was quiet. Others heard his cry and tried to rescue him, but in vain. Next morning he was found dead. He was an expert on docks, ships and navigation and very capable. But he couldn't swim!

Nobody is competent at everything, but everyone can know and do certain things. Some are experts in their own sphere. But few people know what is absolutely important: being in the clear with God! It does not matter who I am or what I can do. If I ignore God and the question of eternity, all my ability and knowledge count for nothing.

The Bible shows me the way to God:

Getting right with God is not something I can earn or achieve. It comes only through His grace. For this the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus is necessary. His atoning suffering and death alone can cancel out the guilt of my sins and make me righteous before God. I must believe in Jesus Christ; then God sees me in the good of what Christ and His work is for Him.

God wishes to save me. I must turn to Him to be saved. He is waiting for me, but I must come.

Only when I accept Christ by faith as my Saviour and Lord, can I put things right with God. Regarding my death the one decisive question I must know the answer to is: Am I in the clear with God?

Today's reading: 2 Chronicles 20:24-37 Â· Revelation 8:1-13

ACCEPTED TIME 2

God is never too early and He is never too late. His timetable is set on purpose; the purpose is not only for your sake but also for His. In all things, His name shall be glorified.
