WORTHY OF HEAVEN?

Not according to our Creator, the LORD God Almighty, Who said: “But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.” (Luke 20:35, KJV) However, God the Holy Spirit most clearly said: as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one” (Romans 3:10-12).
Therefore, since Christ Himself says those who enter Heaven must be accounted worthy, and our Lord then informs us that mankind as a whole is worthless, the question that must now be raised is: How then could worthless man ever be accounted worthy? Praise be to our Great God and Savior:
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement (Romans 5:8-11).
And yet counterfeit Christian teachers of the apostate Church of Rome and the Gnostic mysticism of contemplative spirituality still insist men can be saved apart from God’s grace alone; through faith alone; in Christ alone. Today I admonish you in the Lord not to believe that lie, and to instead consider giving yourself to the mission field in reaching those who have not heard the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, before it’s too late.
Jesus says: unto His disciples, “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His harvest” (Matthew 9:36-37).
O yes Lord, send forth Thy laborers, in Jesus Name, amen.
