Maybe you’ve been convinced that you could pull yourself up to God by your own human effort. The bad news for you is that you can’t. You can’t ever reach high enough to get to God on your own. But the good news for you is that right here, right now, the Lord is reaching out to you. The good news for you is that Jesus’ work on the cross is the only work you need to be saved. God is calling you to put your faith in him, not just your cognitive knowledge, but the trust of a child who falls willingly into their father’s arms.
