riches and pleasures of this life

This story has everything to do with everything around these parts.

Do you think this story is astonishing? Do you wish you could receive a gift this extraordinary, unmerited and incomprehensible? My friend, do I have some good news for you. The good news of God is He died for you, and He offers you salvation out of a love so deep, you can't imagine its depth.

The Bible says if you accept Christ as your Savior, you become an immedient heir to all the riches of Heaven. The Bible says this grand wealth becomes your inheritance. The greatest wealth available to you is becoming a child of the living God. The Bible says you don't deserve a cent of it, and you can't earn a penny of it.

But the Bible says you don't need to do anything because He has done everything.

You don't need to wait for clearance of a credit. You don't need to wonder if this is a joke. You don't need to figure out what you could have done to have merited this great gift. All you need to do is confess your need for God and accept Christ as your Savior. Take His outstretched, nail-pierced hand, my friend, and see where it leads you.
