| Road to "Hell's Half Acre" |
Prove it! That’s what kids will say to each
other when they don’t believe what somebody said. If you’re wise…if you’re so
smart and understand God’s ways—prove it. Live an honorable life. Obediently do
what God says you should do. Humbly do good works. Prove it!
How can you prove it? Live a decent life, worthy of God’s praise—following His
ways...His commands. Righteous living. I don’t think we can really do that
without God’s intervention, His grace, and guidance in our lives. Try as we
might—we just can’t be good enough. When
God blesses us with His wisdom and understanding we want to do good. Good works
and the desire to do them flow out of us from and for the Lord. Those good
works won’t get us into heaven. Jesus taught…"I
am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except
through me.” John 14:6. Only way to heaven is Jesus—so the good works don’t
count—at least they cannot be considered in regards to attaining approval to
enter heaven. Heaven is a wonderful place. That is a line from a
song that was popular for children in the 1980’s. It is filled with
glory and grace. I want to go there. I do want to go there. It’s a
wise choice to choose to follow Jesus…to obey Him. Can you do that,
too? Prove It!
Prayer
~ Dear Jesus, please pour out Your wisdom on us that we would live in an
honorable way—bringing You honor and glory—humbly doing good works.
