It Takes Belief

Ephesians 2:8-9 NLT 
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.

No matter how hard we work at being a good person following all the rules in the Bible it does not get us salvation. It takes belief. And that is not an easy thing to have in this fast paced techno world we live in.

We can't say we will get into heaven because of the amount of money we donated to our church. Nor can we credit the hours we spend volunteering at the local food bank or even the hospital. Serving others doesn't do it either. It takes belief.

It is that simple. We can be the most successful person in town or be out of work living in a homeless camp. Our circumstances do not matter. It takes belief.

All that is needed is belief that Jesus died for you and forgave you of all your sins. All that takes is for you to follow Him. Ask Him into your heart today. Ask Him to be your Lord and Savior. It is that simple. It just takes belief.
