Why Your Very Best Does Not Measure Up

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 Quiet frankly all of your good works do not even measure up, but neither do mine! For by faith you are saved- through grace-it is the gift of God and not of yourselves and not by works least any man [or woman] should boast. paraphrase Ephesians 2:8-9. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9 "It is appointed unto man [or woman] once to die and after that the judgement". Hebrews 9:27 "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."Romans 6:23 "And it shall be, that in the last days that all whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13 "if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth[ of God is] not in us. 1 John 1:6 Just because either your wife or your husband is born again will not gain you any access into the kingdom of God! Salvation in an individual gift only. Just because your good works may exceed the good works of other people does not measure up. You are not judged by the works of any man or woman, but by Jesus Christ. Only He and He alone can determine if you measure up! Just because you think you are buying the stairway to heaven, you will not measure up. Because salvation is a free gift and not purchased by money. "No man can serve two masters for either he will love one and hate the other... You can not serve both God and money!" Mathew 6:24 Jesus Christ desires to have a relationship with Him. But it takes more than a relationship to inherit everlasting life. One of the reasons that Hell is expanding its boarders is because multitudes of people wrongfully believe that merely paying lip sink to John 3:16 will gain them access into heaven. We are not to be deceived for God is not mocked and whatsoever a man sows so shall he reap the bitter harvest! It is very sad, but very true that countless people erroneously believe that believing in Jesus Christ will gain them access into the portals of heaven. Even the demons of hell believe and they tremble! "There is no other name given among men [or woman] by which we must be saved." You need to believe on Him! "On Christ the solid Rock I Stand all other ground is sinking sand..." You need to believe that Jesus Christ will be merciful to you because you are a sinner!
