 No
TOLL fees to pay -- can't work our way there.
Ephesians 2:8-9 says: 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.
Salvation is His GIFT to us!
The
road is narrow -- Jesus Christ is the only street
necessary.
In John 14:6 Jesus said "I am the
way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by
me."
He is the way, the truth, and the life.
We
have all blown it, but God loves us anyway. That is why Jesus
Christ died for us - to cover for all the wrongs we have done and will
ever do. The Bible calls those wrongs, sin, which simply means to fall
short of God's wonderful glory.
Romans 5:8 says, "But God
commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us."
 However,
Jesus did not stay on that cross. He rose again and has been
busy preparing a future home for us when he comes again to take us there
to be with him, if we will just believe.
In John 14:1-3 Jesus said, "Let
not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My
Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for
you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there
you may be also."
When
we ask for forgiveness for those times we have blown it (for
those sins in our lives), and when we believe in our hearts that Jesus
really did raise from the dead, God promises us that we will find the way
to heaven with no problem.
Romans 10:13 says "For whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Are
you ready to give your heart to Jesus?
It all begins with that first step.
