Ask If You’re Good

John 10:1-5 ESV

[1]  “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. [2] But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. [3] To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. [4] When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. [5] A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”

A thought I posed to a young woman today was, Are you good? Not, have I done good works? Am I a nice person? But am I good? Am I saved? See, none of us are good. All of us deserve Hell. We’re all unrighteous sinners, that’s why Christ came 2000 years ago.

It’s not about whether or not you do good deeds or whether or not you pray daily. Muslims pray 5 times a day and do good deeds. Hindus and Buddhists meditate daily. It’s not about praying or about good deeds. Salvation is about Jesus. It’s about who you follow.

Be honest with yourself, are you truly following Christ? Are you living in sin or are wrestling with it? Are you dwelling in His Presence through the Son of God or are you jumping the gate? Are you following the Messiah or do you just believe He is the Messiah?

Remember that faith without actions is dead. You need to have faith and you need to act on your faith.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Ask If You’re Good.
