“I (almost) MADE IT!!!”

SUNDAY
MI DAILY DEVOTION
“I (almost) MADE IT!!!”

(Acts 26:29) “Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.”

I got the idea of using the said topic (“I (almost) MADE IT!!!”) from the TV show I recently watched. But it’s sad to say that millions of people all over the world will say that someday, but it would be too late. “I almost made it to heaven…” could be the common phrase in hell. Some people may have stood before the door of heaven like Judas Iscariot, but will be in hell after death. People who have heard the Word of God preached to them, but they rejected God’s invitation to come. People who have been in the church and may even have served in the church, but did not make it to heaven or they will not make it in heaven. Judas Iscariot followed Jesus and served with Jesus during their times, but Jesus called him the son of perdition. There are those who may have heard Jesus’ preached, they’ve witnessed the Lord’s miracle and have seen or witnessed the power of God, but the sad thing is, they’re in hell. Others may still be on their way to eternal damnation because they rejected Christ. God has given us the way to heaven through the Lord Jesus Christ and God has opened the door for everyone who may want to humbly come to Him in faith and repentance. It is your choice that will matter; it’s not your personal belief or goodness and good works. It’s your choice of taking the other side of the way, the other side of the truth and life or the free gift of salvation.

(Acts 16:30- 31) 30- “And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31- And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”
