It sounded as though the young lady was reciting...

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

It sounded as though the young lady was reciting the recipe for a cake: she believed in some of the Sermon on the Mount, and in some words from the Koran, and also in reincarnation. That summed up her individual faith. She said she had an easy conscience and gave us the impression that she was content.

Is being content with our own thought-out faith sufficient? Isn't it more important what God thinks of it? Can such a mixture give security in sickness and death? Such wishful thinking must lead us astray! It does not correspond to biblical teaching. We must remember that God has revealed Himself, showing who He is and how we must approach Him. Jesus Christ said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). Jesus is the Name, "by which we must be saved". There is no other way!

Have you possibly put your own faith together yourself and are satisfied with it? If you had to repair the roof of your home, would you trust scaffolding that you had made yourself from a variety of materials and not fixed firmly? We need security! So let us not rely on our own "creed" in the most important question of all: How do I stand regarding God and life after death?

We cannot "tailor" the Word of God to suit ourselves. It places us in God's light, but it also shows us the way to life. We have to accept, believe and obey what it says. That alone gives the security we need.

Today's reading: Amos 1:1-15 · Proverbs 22:9-16

TRANSFORMED BY THE NEW CREATION

One of the most profound wonders you will find anywhere in the world is the wonder of a transformed life.
