Check!

This is how much God loved the world: He gave His Son, His one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in Him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.

John 3:16 

 

 Do you have a checklist?  I do.  Whenever I get ready to go on vacation, I have a checklist of what I need to take.  When I get ready for my day, I have a checklist of what goes in my Chaplain's Go-Bag (and Yes, it includes candy).  When I have a project to accomplish, I have a checklist of things I need to do to complete the project.  Pharisees LOVED checklists!  They believed that if they ticked all the right boxes on their "religious" checklist, they would gain entry into Heaven.  

 

Hmmm..... I have a problem with those who believe they can earn their way into Heaven. Especially when Jesus, Himself, told us to believe in Him and have eternal life.  No boxes to check.  No lists to maintain.  Believe!  With your whole being, believe in Him!  It's really not complicated....it's called "Grace" and it's free!
