Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. John 5:24
John's gospel contains several words of assurance from our Lord Jesus, including amongst 'em that famous verse, 3:16, and this one we read for today. The actions required of us do not appear to be the religious mountain some would have us climb: hear the word and believe. That's it? It seems too simple for those who want to earn their right to the kingdom of Heaven and march in as conquerors of the paragon way. It is a strange operation of our faith that we present ourselves to the Lord as the worst, when we would much rather come to Him showing our best. Even the bodies we plant in the ground are cleaned and dressed as if the Lord might need a hand with getting the dearly departed ready for His kingdom. Praise God we have the assurance of His Son!
When I enter into God's Heaven it will be a sign of His glory and not my own.
Love in Christ, Bucky
