Salvation Run

The folks who organize the race set the rules, and no matter how well someone runs or how many times you were caught on the CCTV cameras, if the official says the runner don’t qualify, that’s the way it is. In one sense, that’s also the way it is with all of us. We can run what appears to be a good race by doing good things for others and obeying lots of rules. But when we arrive at the final checkpoint – heaven – and haven’t made sure our name is recorded in the Lamb’s Book of Life by putting our faith in Jesus as our Savior, we are disqualified to enter for Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). Do you trust in Jesus? If not, you are running for nothing. For it is not what you achieve that qualifies or the gained wealth or fame but the trust you put in Jesus.
