Deal or No Deal Salvation

Ok, so I am not one to get "preachy" on my blog but I really wanted to share something I was thinking about last night. We were watching "Deal or No Deal". It's always interesting to see how people go through the process of deciding how much to wager and how much are you willing to risk at a "chance" of getting the million $$$ case. Howie kept telling the contestant last night "This is going to change your life forever!" I am sure in many cases (no pun intended) it really does. You may walk away wondering what if or you may walk away with more money than you ever dreamed. But, it is all by chance.

Can you imgaine if salvation was the same way? What if it didn't matter how you lived your life. You could live like Mother Theresa or Ozzie Osbourne and at the end it would all come down to chance whether you enter in to Heaven. Can you see St. Peter standing there with all these cases. He would be cheering you on just like Howie. "Come on Heidi, do you want to open up one more case or do you think your case has salvation in it?"

God is amazing. He didn't leave that decision up to chance. He said very simply, no one comes into the kingdom unless through my son. Asking Jesus into your heart is your "case" into Heaven. You don't have to leave anything up to chance. You can ask Jeusu into your heart today and know that when your time on earth is done you will be Heaven bound. Now that IS life changing.
