If you were to die today and Christ would ask you, "Why should I let you into My Heaven," how would you respond?
Unbelievers would give such answers as:
(1) I've tried to live a good life.
(2) I've done many good deeds.
(3) I've always been generous.
(4) I've helped the poor.
(5) I've always attended church.
While all those are good things, none of them can assure our entrance through the pearly gates.
The only acceptable answer is: BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD THAT JESUS SHED FOR MY SINS.
Christ said in John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Luke 9:22 reminds us that "(W)ithout the shedding of blood is no remission" of sins.
As the old hymn questions, "Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing flood? Are you washed in the Blood of the Lamb?"
Never forget -- the Blood is our only passport to Heaven!
