ONE HEARTBEAT AWAY - PART 76

                                          ONE HEARTBEAT                                               AWAY

   PART 76 

(copied from Mark Cahill's Book)

Consider this:  If you take a burnt cake and

put white icing on it, how does it look? Sure,

it looks good on the outside, but when you 
take a bite of it, how does it taste?  Probably 
most of us have taken a bite out of a burnt 
cookie or a piece of burnt cake, and were 
happy until we hit the burnt part. It tastes horrible.

It's the same way with good works if we are trusting our good works to gain us entry into heaven, we try to look good on the outside. 
On the inside however, we are still nasty and horrible because we are still breaking the Ten Commandments day by day.

To get into heaven, where no unclean thing is allowed we can't merely cover our sin with 
good deeds; we must get rid of it altogether. 
The blood of Jesus and the blood of Jesus 
alone, can make your sins as pure and as 
white as a beautiful snowfall, getting rid of 
them once and for all:

"Come now, and let 
us reason together,
saith the Lord: though 
your sins be as 
scarlet they shall be as 
white as snow;                 though they be red like crimson they shall be as wool."
(Isaiah  1:18)

There is only one thing that will get rid of
all of our sins, once and for all, the pure
cleansing blood  of Jesus the Messiah (or
Christ as it is in Greek).

"But now in Christ Jesus, ye who were
sometimes far off are made nigh by the
blood of Christ."
(Ephesians 2: 13)

Then we can stand before God dressed in the
righteousness of Jesus, and our plea will be neither  "Guilty"  nor  "Not guilty,"  but  "The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin."
(1st John  1:7)
