Who Are You Trusting In?

“Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.” (Proverbs 11:4)
“Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches.” (Jeremiah 9:23) Jesus said to His disciples: “That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 19:23) Regarding the coming wrath of God, the prophet Ezekiel said: “They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall not be removed: Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.” (Ezekiel 7:19) Hebrews 9:27, 28 says: “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Once we die, it is too late to receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Are our names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? Only faith in Jesus Christ will result in our salvation. Martin Luther said: “Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.” Jim Elliot, the martyred missionary, said: “When it comes time to die, make sure all you have to do is die.” No one is promised tomorrow. Behold, today is the day of salvation. Who or what are you trusting in to get you into heaven? If your answer is anything other than the blood of Jesus, place your trust in Him today.
