Daily Devotional. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast PAID the uttermost farthing. Matthew 5:26. I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast PAID the very last mite. Luke 12:59. For the WAGES of sin is death; but the GIFT of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23. Salvation comes with a price and you can’t afford either one. The first is very inexpensive, actually so inexpensive its almost too good to be true. The second is so expensive no one can afford to buy it. The first looks like everyone can pay the price and take it home to enjoy the “saved” life. But it doesn’t take very long to figure out it takes constant maintainance and much work to even try to get it to work. You finally figure out it’s basically broken but you keep trying to work with it because it’s all you’ve got. With the second way, no amount of money or work will ever be enough to get it. But a Man comes to you and says He’ll Pay for it for you if you’ll use it correctly, and it will last a lifetime with no other work or parts required. The first is Satan’s cheap knockoff salvation requiring you to work very hard doing Things and giving money, HOPING it’ll save you from Hell. It won’t, and you’re dead. The second is Salvation freely offered by Jesus, the Christ, and comes Fully Paid for, just use it according to the instructions and “Heaven Bound” is forever yours. Sadly, many look for the fine print with Christ’s salvation knowing there’s a “catch” somewhere, thinking no one does “free” anymore, so they walk away too skeptical to see the Truth. Without Christ, again, Hell bound. BUT WITH CHRIST, HEAVEN BOUND IS REAL, and Freedom from the weight of sin Proves it. Plus a full helping of Great Joy and Real Peace to top it all off. Satan’s counterfeit is NOTHING at all like Christ’s Real Salvation. If you REALLY want the Real Thing, it’s just a whispered Prayer away. Freely Available, just for the asking. Just ask, and, Be Blessed.
