GOSPEL NUGGET #648

One time an evangelist was teaching little children a portion of a hymn that says:  "I need no other argument, I want no other plea; It is enough that Jesus died, and rose again for me." 

He then asked the children: "Why do you think that I can say that it is enough that Jesus died?" 

Several unsatisfactory answers were given, but then a little girl said: "It is enough for you because it is enough for God."

Exactly! Spot on! 

My friend, learn and realize that the death of Christ on the cross for you was, is, and will forever be enough for God when it comes to your salvation. Do you have faith in Him and what He did on the cross to find it enough as well? 

GOSPEL NUGGET # 647

 Pr 29:5 A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

Let's apply this to spiritual deception. The devil is like the man here who flatters you so that you will be entangled and suffer an eternal fall. 

He will make you think that you are a good person, that you are not as bad as the others, that your sins are not as serious as the others, that your good works will somehow cover-up and outweigh the sinful things that you have done. He will make you satisfied with your self so that you will never, ever trust in Christ and what He did on the cross for your salvation. 

Repent! Realize that you are a sinner, helpless, and hopeless in yourself to save yourself. Be roused from the intoxication of having a high opinion of yourself.
