Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6
Many people would like to take a short cut when it comes to getting into Heaven. They would love to make in on their own good works. And many of them believe that is exactly how you get there. The problem is, that’s not what the Bible says. Yes, the Word of God actually says something totally different than what you are use to hearing. What it says is, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 You may ask, “what is good works for then? The answer, to show you are saved and on your way to Heaven! “Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.” James 2:18
If you’re saved and on your way to Heaven, your works will line up with your mouth is saying. In other words, your walk will line up with your talk!
How’s your walk? Are you trying to take a short cut? Be careful because what will happen is you will remain lost—forever!
