The Best and Worst News
​
“God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.” Ephesians 2:8-9 NLT

To know there is a place free from sin and the horrible consequences of sin and full of the presence of our perfect God and all the benefits that flow from Him is truly the best news. In fact, there is only perfection in heaven – perfect beauty, perfect goodness – because if there was anything in heave less than perfect, heaven would cease to be heaven.
​
Suddenly, then, that just became the worst news I’ve ever heard – for one simple reason: I’m not perfect. Never have been. Many works in my life have been awful, . . .

They will be there late into the night and generally, everyone sits silently. I broke protocol and began to introduce myself and converse with the folks around me in hope of striking up a gospel conversation. As it turns out, an elderly man sitting near me was the pastor of a church that meets in a little building high up on the side of a mountain eight or ten miles by road away. As we talked, he began to share the story of how he came to Christ
