Gravity, Airplanes And Salvation
We are all under gravity. Everything we do and everything in us is affected by gravity. Jump so high in order to go to heaven, you cannot. It is impossible. Gravity pulls you down.
You can't pull yourself by your own bootstraps. You need something that can overcome the law of gravity...like an airplane for example. You just simply step into the plane and let it do all the work.
And Lo and Behold! The law of gravity is overpowered and you are flying across the face of the sky, sitting pretty, free as a bird!
It’s the same way with salvation. We are all under sin. Everything we do and everything in us is affected by sin. You want to go to heaven to be with God forever and enjoy Him, you cannot. It is impossible. Sin pulls you down.
You can't pull yourself by your own resources. You need Someone who can overcome sin and get rid of it---the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. You just simply trust your soul's salvation to Him and let Him do all the mighty work, a work of salvation which He already finished, when He died on the cross.
And Lo and Behold! Sin is overcome and rendered powerless. And when the time comes, at the Rapture, you will be caught up to Him in the skies to be with Him forever, looking glorious and forever free at last!
