Devotional
The beauty of the Gospel isn’t found in our perfection, but in Christ’s invitation. We don’t earn our way to heaven through good works or religious devotion. Our only claim to heaven is that Jesus says, “That one’s mine.” Like the thief on the cross, we come with nothing to offer except our need for grace. And that’s enough. Jesus stayed on the cross until every drop of blood necessary for our salvation was spilled. His finished work means we can come to Him just as we are, knowing His grace is sufficient. Our salvation rests not on our performance, but on His promise.
Bible Verse
“Jesus answered him, ‘Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.'” – Luke 23:43
