If you were to die today, and find yourself at the gates of heaven, what would you say?
It is always good, among all good and deep theology we study, to remind ourselves why is it that we can go to heaven. The simplicity of the Gospel is so beautifully stated by Alistair Begg.

Yes the entire sermon is amazing as it points to One on the Cross. "O soul are you weary and troubled No light in the darkness you see There's light for a look at the Savior And life more abundant and free Turn your eyes upon Jesus Look full in his wonderful face And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of his glory and grace His word shall not fail you he promised Believe him and all will be well Then go to a world that is dying His perfect salvation to tell."

You know I hear Christians talk a lot about how they serve Christ. But it isn't the sheep that bring food to the shepherd to eat, Nor do they bring him water to drink nor protect him from dangers whether it be predators or just the elements of nature. It is the shepherd who provides the sheep food and water for nutrition and security and protection from all kinds of dangers. So the question is who serves who?

Clyde is heading in the right direction. If we could eradicate the word Sinner from the vocabulary of believers we would do such a great service to undue the weight of religiosity that has been thrust upon believers. The old you died with Christ. You are a new creature not identified by what you do but by birthright. You are no longer in the line of Adam but reborn into the line of Christ. Oh that the church would learn to walk in this truth. There is now NO condemnation for those IN Christ Jesus. His yoke is easy, His burden is light, come unto Him and allow Him to rest you.

I told them, "You say, 'Because Your Son died for me, and He forgives me all my sins, and He will welcome me with open arms,'" and made them repeat it.

Yes, a wonderful hymn by Charitie Bancroft Before the Throne of God Above 1 Before the throne of God above I have a strong, a perfect plea; A great High Priest, whose Name is Love, Who ever lives and pleads for me. 2 My name is graven on His hands, My name is written on His heart; I know that while with God He stands No tongue can bid me thence depart. 3 When satan tempts me to despair, And tells me of the guilt within, Upward I look, and see Him there Who made an end of all my sin. 4 Because the sinless Saviour died, My sinful soul is counted free; For God, the Just, is satisfied To look on Him and pardon me. 5 Behold Him there, the risen Lamb! My perfect, spotless Righteousness, The great unchangeable I AM, The King of glory and of grace. 6 One with Himself, I cannot die; My soul is purchased by His blood; My life is hid with Christ on high, With Christ, my Saviour and my God.
