Ticket To Heaven
Have you noticed a trend in my blogs here?
As our daily scripture readings have gone through the book of Matthew,
personally, my heart has been pierced at how our belief,
which builds our faith, which confirms our righteous, which is our:
Ticket to heaven.
Sadly, too many people, within the church, don’t realize how their worldly lifestyles, fears, habits or attitudes limit their ability to get that ‘golden ticket’.
As the Scripture quotes, if we are in the church, we are people who can be considered people who are ‘seeds’ ( Matthew 13:3-8 );
1. Dropped by the wayside
2. Fallen on Stony Ground
3. Caught among Thorns &
4. Deep in The Good Soil
What kind of see are you?
There is a possibility that you may not even realize what kind of seed you are.
Because as the scripture states, even if we go to church, we may not be the right seed that is able to correctly hear or even understand this topic.
For those who are caught up in the worlds issues, dealing with financial troubles, or having personal problems, their worry may cause them to not be self aware enough to see what kind of seed they really are.
☆ Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
• Matthew 6:31-33
The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, do not leave a person just because they go to a church, hear some sermons, or say some words.
The sins and worries of the world still consume so many within the church.
However, if we surrender our lives, obey our Lord and read the Bible,
and I mean really getting into the passion of that Love Letter God wrote to us,
it will prepare us for:
Our ticket to heaven.
Because the Bible is the training manual to teach us how to believe.
Which will help us find our faith.
Which will allow us to be considered ‘righteous’ by our Lord.
☆ All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
• 2 Timothy 3:16
Because righteousness is the best goal a man can have while he walks this earth.
As righteousness provides the greatest and most wonderful results that a man can have.
Besides a ticket to heaven.
☆ Blessings are on the head of the righteous
The memory of the righteous is blessed
The mouth of the righteous is a well of life
The righteous has an everlasting foundation.”
• Proverbs 10:6-7, 11, 25
Today’s very short blog is very simple for 1 reason;
It is a very simple point I would like to make to you.
It is the same point I have been making all week.
Our righteousness in God is our ‘ticket to heaven’.
– Our righteousness in God will NOT be achieved without real faith.
– Our real faith will NOT be achieved without real belief.
– Our real belief will NOT be achieved without real surrender to HIM.
– Our real surrender to HIM will not be achieved if we still;
1. Do not understand the Word (Seed thrown by the wayside)
2. Have no root, so if trouble or persecution comes, quickly fall away ( Stony Ground)
3. Let the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth make the faith unfruitful. (Thorns)
Our life in Christ is NOT just a 1 and done.
We need not to just have faith, we need to KEEP our faith.
☆ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.
• 2 Timothy 4:7-8
I know way too many people who think they have a ticket to heaven.
However, they may not (That is between them and God).
You may think you have a ticket to heaven today.
But do you?
How is YOUR righteousness?
Because on that day, which we do not know, when the departure, which will definitely happen;
You need to have your ticket to heaven, because you will NOT have a 2nd chance.
I love you guys!
