Lies I Believe Part 3: I'll Get to Heaven by Being a Good PersonSample

JESUS IS THE ANSWER (part 1)

Now let’s talk about some good news! We aren’t left in our sin, in falling short of God’s standard that separates us from him. We have someone who has saved us! This is Jesus! He reconciled our relationship with God. He took our sin upon himself, even though he had never sinned. God planned for this to be the way that we were to be saved from the very beginning. He knew that we couldn’t do it on our own, so he sacrificed Jesus in our place! In our world today it can be easy to try to tolerate everyone and say that there are many ways to get to heaven, but the Bible is clear that Jesus is the only way. We only need to believe that he died for our sins and confess that he is Lord! What a great gift! We don’t do anything to earn it, because God loves us and is gracious towards us, he gives it freely.

Ask Yourself:

How does it feel to know that salvation is a gift that you don’t deserve?

Do you believe that Jesus came to save you?

Pause to Pray:

Jesus, thank you for reconciling me with God. Thank you for taking sin upon yourself and dying for me so that I can have eternal life. Thank you that I don’t have to earn it, but receive it as a gift.

Take the Next Step:

Create space in your day to praise Jesus for how he saved you. It could be through a worship song, or reflecting on a passage of the Bible, or anything else that brings you to a heart of praise.
