Affirmative action for faith based Heaven admission
It is the blood of Jesus, but it is also true repentance that allows entrance. Perhaps St. Peter has a few choice saints that he asks, do you know this woman? Are you a friend of hers? Are you an acquaintance?
What did it mean that some people bartered in gold and jewels and people and the souls of people? In Scripture there are people to whom heaven is promised blessed are the pure in heart, blessed are the meek…etc. Does heaven belong to you and to your children if you are clinging to a movement of souls that is hellbound. If you have vowed to continue with them into eternity and they are not going where you claim to be going, are you going?
Does God use affirmative action? Does God use a legacy? Even Abraham has to trust Jesus to be saved. Abraham saw my day and was glad, Jesus said. When did you see Abraham they asked him.
Church repentance that is more than just lipservice to the concept of repentance is what the Lord requires from us all. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture?
Did you require a greater allegiance to yourself than I required from you? Must we all give up our all to follow the higher education mandate? Jesus will try us all in our allegiances. He will try what our true pride is in. Is it in our degree or lack thereof? Is it in our pedigree or muttiness? Our words betray our true allegiance. All to Jesus or all to me and what I have accomplished and amassed for myself, building bigger and better bastions of dominion for my progeny. Are we the fools that we appear to be. Is our soul ready to answer for the things that we have neglected to confess and forsake and see the true affirmative action of the blood of Jesus that cleanses and makes us allies with him!
