Eternal Security

We all know people that have a lot of stuff: big houses, nice cars, LOTS of money. They have the advantage that they can go anywhere they want, whenever they want. They are financially well enough that when one of his/her central AC units goes out, it is no big deal. They have A LOT.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am not at all envious, jealous, or covetous. Good for those who have worked hard and obtained a lot. But, I am concerned for a lot of them, and lots of others, that they put more worth in the STUFF than in the SAVIOR.

Today's word is Mark 8:36, NASB, which reads, "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?"

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being wealthy - nothing. However, the wealth of this world pales in comparison to eternity in Heaven. One day, we will all stand before a Holy and Just GOD and give an account for everything we have done. When that happens, all the worldly wealth you can imagine will fail to get you into Heaven. Only the blood of my SAVIOR, by Grace through Faith in Him, will make us justified to enter.

If you, or someone you know, has all the wealth in the world, everything you could ever imagine, but you don't have JESUS, you will one day face eternity without the SAVIOR. While the earthly riches make this life a little easier, accepting JESUS as SAVIOR provides eternal security.

Be Blessed,
