WHY WE ALL NEED JESUS

One day I spoke to a Muslim guy. I was trying to explain why our good works can't save us and why we need to accept Jesus' sacrifice.

I remember asking him, "If you had a daughter who did something wrong and some people wanted to kill her, and you had the means to save her (although she's guilty), would you save your daughter? "

His answer shocked me, and I quote, "No, she deserves it". I was like 😨
It's either this guy hadn't gotten into much trouble before or he was talking like that because he didn't have children... or maybe he was just a mean guy lydat. Would never have guessed from his face tho.

You see, we thank God that He's not human, and that even when He came as a man He wasn't like that guy. If you think God wouldn't show mercy to a person who deserved death, ask the adulterous woman, ask the thief on the cross, ask the prostitute who poured her perfume at Jesus' feet. There's one word for this nature of God: MERCY. God is merciful.

And it becomes nothing short of stupid and prideful (truth hurts huh), when we won't accept the gift given so freely, Jesus' perfect life for our imperfect lives. Doesn't make sense? You should see what guys do for love... God simply outdid us.

Here's a news flash, it's not the fact that your good outweighs your sins which qualifies you for heaven, if there's any sin to measure with at all, you've failed, you qualify for hell.
But there is a way out, only One Way. Don't be proud, don't be silly, you're not strong enough. See, you are just not good enough... I'm talking chaw... Accept Jesus' sacrifice, you can thank me in heaven.
