Mark 10:17-18 And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
We have the greatest temptation set before us for as long as we live. It is the fact that we call each other
good! We always are thinking we are better than so and so because we don't do the bad things they do. I know the devil will tell us that we are indeed good but it is a total lie! We are far from good, truth be told we are all rotten to the core. The only good thing about us is, we are all equal at the foot of the cross. We all need a Savior who can atone for our sins. There is absolutely no way we can ever be good enough to please God. It is only by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, who paid our debt on the cross. So if you think that you can do enough to please God, forget it! Christ is the only way to please God and the only means by which we will ever see God! We must guard our relationship with Christ for He is our shepherd who will lead us home.
Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
1 Tim.2: 5-6 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
Lord God, we must have You! Speak to us through Your word and guide us to repentance. Keep our eyes on You and teach us Your way. Forgive us when we fail and be merciful to us as we take You to the nations. Amen
