It is the same philosophy that sends most to Hell. This terrible iniquity is where over 90% of churches and religions are wrong. His confession was, \u201c\u2026 what shall I do to inherit eternal life?\u201d (Luke:18:18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That ruler (Luke 18:18) was trying to work his way to Heaven by doing all he could to earn a place there. Certainly, he and others in many unbiblical religions think it natural that if you do enough good things, the good will outweigh the bad, and God will let you into Heaven. Wrong! Unbiblical! That is what distinguishes all man-made religions from real Christianity! Other religions teach that doing something, such as abiding by traditions, rules, catechisms, rites, sacraments, pillars of the faith, or their religion\u2019s teachings, will get one to Heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Real Christianity is the only \u201creligion\u201d that teaches one does not have to do anything to get to Heaven except to trust that Jesus\u2019 sacrifice was the payment for all their iniquities. One does not have to do anything for salvation because Jesus Christ has already done it for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All have sinned. All not only commit iniquities, but they were born sinners. Because of sin, no one can get higher than the coffin lid. That is the bad news.<br><em>\u201cFor all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;\u201d Romans 3:23<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is, however, good news. There is a Person who never sinned. His undeserved death on the cross is the only payment God will accept to cover anyone\u2019s sin. It is Jesus alone, God\u2019s only son, who is worthy enough to pay for our sins. Trying to do good \u201cworks\u201d to earn Heaven is rejecting Christ\u2019s finished work on the cross. That rejection says that Christ\u2019s payment was not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like the rich ruler, doing good things and living the way one thinks is right will earn no one an eternity with Jesus. That man had done \u201cright\u201d his whole life, yet he was looking for one more thing to do to guarantee eternal life. Good works never satisfy because they are not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trusting that one loves us so much that He gave His life so that we can live eternally is the only way God will accept. Are you 100% sure that if you were to die today, tomorrow, or a hundred years from now, you would go to Heaven? You can be sure because the \u201cticket\u201d has been paid for; all you have to do is accept it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Today\u2019s Thought:&nbsp;<\/strong><br>\u201cWorry not who you are, but whose you are!\u201d \u2014 Author Unknown<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Words to Understand:<\/strong><br>Adversary: enemy; one who opposes another<br>Extortioners: one who tries to get money from another by threatening if money is not given, embarrassing information will be released about the person<br>Rebuked: questioned; corrected<br>Scourge: punishment by a whip<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Today\u2019s Reading:<\/strong><br><em>Luke 18<br>1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;<br>2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:<br>3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.<br>4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;<br>5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.<br>6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.<br>7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?<br>8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?<br>9 \u00b6 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:<br>10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.<br>11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.<br>12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.<br>13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.<br>14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.<br>15 \u00b6 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.<br>16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.<br>17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.<br>18 \u00b6 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?<br>19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.<br>20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.<br>21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.<br>22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.<br>23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.<br>24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!<br>25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle&#8217;s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.<br>26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?<br>27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.<br>28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.<br>29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God&#8217;s sake,<br>30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.<br>31 \u00b6 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.<br>32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:<br>33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.<br>34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.<br>35 \u00b6 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:<br>36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.<br>37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.<br>38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.<br>39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.<br>40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,<br>41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.<br>42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.<br>43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily Nugget:A rich man came to Jesus unintentionally admitting that he had
