All
Access Pass
By
Lori Kennedy
“God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes.”(Psalm 18:24 The Message)
Have
you ever been to a concert and seen people with an All Access Backstage
Pass? When I was a teenager, I always
wanted to get my hands on one of those passes and be included backstage where I
perceived all the action and important people were.
God
has given you an All Access Pass to eternal life through His son Jesus
Christ.
John 3:16 (NIV) states, “For God
so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in
Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16 (NIV) states, “For God
so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in
Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”
What
does this mean? God loves YOU! In fact, He loves you so much that he wants
to be with you forever. But what does, “He gave His one and only son”
mean? God allowed His son Jesus to die
on the cross. But why did Jesus have to
die? Jesus conquered death when He rose
back to life from the grave three days after his death on the cross.
Whereas
you and I are sinners, Jesus was sinless.
If you have ever told a lie, stolen anything, or even talked back to
your parents, then you have sinned.
Romans 3:23 (NIV) states, “For all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God.”
Heaven
is a fabulous place that has been prepared for you where no one will hunger or
thirst again (Revelation 7:17). God
created Heaven and Earth with laws. The
laws of Earth include the law of gravity and the tides of the oceans. The law of Heaven states that sin is not
allowed into Heaven (Revelation 21:27).
Since God could not allow sin into heaven, Jesus’ sinless sacrifice
covers our sin so that we can enter into heaven.
Romans 3:23 (NIV) states, “For all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God.”
This
All Access Pass gives you more than eternal life. It gives you freedom from the chains that
bind you in this life once you open your heart to your Savior. You, see, II Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) says that
you are a New Creation, the old has gone and the new has come. Philippians 4:13 tells us that we can do all
things through Christ who strengthens us.
Have
you given your heart and life to Christ?
God has promised you that He can rewrite your life if you open the book
of your heart to His eyes. I challenge
you today to take full advantage of your All Access Pass so that you can
overcome having freedom to fulfill your God given destiny.
