This is so very true. I have heard that some churches seem to believe that
faith is a matter ofdoing good things.

BIBLE MEDITATION:
"Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God."
1 John 5:1
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
What is salvation? It's not a creed. You say, "Well, I believe the plan of
salvation." You can
believe the plan of salvation and go straight to hell. You're not saved by
the plan of salvation;
you're saved by the Man of salvation. Salvation is not a creed. It's not a
code. You say, "Well, I
believe if you live right, you'll go to heaven." If you could be saved by
living right then Calvary
was a blunder. It's not a cause. You say, "I'm a member of a good,
fundamental, Bible-believing
church." It's not any of these things. It's Christ. Salvation is not
believing something; it is
receiving Someone. The true gospel is one that centers in Jesus Christ.
ACTION POINT:
Ask God to give you a divine opportunity to boldly share Jesus with someone
today. Maybe it's a
co-worker; maybe it's your child. Maybe it's a stranger that sits next to you
at a restaurant. Be
strong and of good courage; God will go before you to prepare the way.
