These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life. 1 John 5:13 (NASB)

As my daily Devotional speaks....
"Thank God you don't have to work your way to heaven; if that were the case, none of us would make it."

The things written in God's Word are written so that you may know absolutely, for sure, for certain and with confidence that when you die you are going to heaven. That doesn't mean you won't make mistakes. That doesn't mean you won't go through trials. That doesn't mean you won't disappoint people and they won't disappoint you. That doesn't mean you won't sin. The point is - you don't have to be perfect to get to heaven, but you DO have to put your faith in Christ.

Thank God you don't have to work your way to heaven; if that were the case, none of us would make it. Jesus said, "I am the way ... . No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6, NIV) Put your faith in him, not in your efforts, and you can know for sure that heaven is your destination.

I make constant mistakes and downright sin at times. When I read this devotional today, I took my breath under the first paragraph. It is so appropriate as I am lying to my EX. PHEW! Don't get me wrong, I truly believe I have to. [I think, for only just his sake.] I needed this, how appropriate. He does listen. God knows of my intentions. I don't think He's gonna point a finger at my head to strike lightning.
