Believe To Receive

Daily Reading—Exodus 20-22 / Matthew 21:23-46
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Matthew 21:32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
What is it that would place a person in God’s family? A position in the church? According to Matthew 21, that did not work for the chief priests and the elders. Is it nationality, gender, or race? Again, that was not the qualification for entrance here. So, who is it then that can be added to the family of God? Jesus very simply said, “and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.” It is those who have repented or turned their heart and believed.
Today, some believe it is their family, denomination, race, or goodness that will get them into heaven someday. However, it is still the same today: turn your heart to Jesus, believe, and receive.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
What are you counting on for entrance into the family of God?
