TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
|
|
“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen” (Jude 24–25). |

DAILY FIRE!

“I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you’” (Isaiah 41:13).
Two skydivers jump from a plane at fifteen thousand feet. Both are wearing parachutes. One of them folds his arms, ignores the ripcord, and says to himself: “I am perfectly safe because of my parachute.” He is still saying these words as he hits the ground at over a hundred miles per hour, smashing into a million pieces. The other skydiver knows that he will be safe only if he does something. He pulls the ripcord and lands safely.
You and I may know about the Christian faith. You and I may respect Jesus, and agree that what He did on the cross is the answer to our deepest needs. But until you and I actually ask for His help, and commit our lives to Him, it is like falling with a closed parachute. We need to take urgent action. We need to pull the ripcord while there is still time!
The ripcord is this: “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). There is nothing else you or I can do. We cannot save ourselves. We can only throw ourselves on what Jesus achieved for us on the cross. He has done everything that we need. “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
