On a teaching trip outside the US, my wife and I were denied entry into our country of destination because of visa problems. Although we were under the assumption our visas had been correctly issued by the country we planned to visit, they were deemed invalid. Despite the efforts of several government officials, nothing could be done. We weren’t allowed in. We were placed on the next flight back to the States. No amount of intervention could change the fact that we did not have the proper validation for entrance.   That
experience with my visa was inconvenient, but it can’t begin to compare
with the ultimate entry rejection. I’m speaking of those who will stand
before God without valid entry into heaven. What if they were to
present the record of their religious efforts and good deeds? That
would not be enough. What if they were to call character references?
That wouldn’t work. Only one thing can give anyone entry into heaven.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through Me” (John 14:6).

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” —John 14:6 |
Christ
alone, through His death and resurrection, paid the price for our sins.
And only He can give us valid entry into the presence of the Father.
Have you put your faith in Jesus? Make sure you have a valid entry into
heaven.
 There
aren’t many ways into heaven;
The Bible says there’s only one;
Good works won’t gain anyone entrance;
It’s only through faith in God’s Son. —Sper
Only through Christ can we enter the Father’s presence. |

¿Quien fue el hombre que mientras mentia Dios estaba con él y cuando dijo la verdad Dios se aparto de él?
Libro de Jueces : La historia de Sansón y Dalila. (Jueces 16:13 mentira, v. 17 dijo la verdad y v. 20 Dios se aparto de él.)- Después Sansón se enamoró de una mujer llamada Dalila, que vivía en el valle de Sore. Los jefes de los filisteos fueron a ver a Dalila, y le dijeron: –Engaña a Sansón y averigua de dónde le vienen sus fuerzas extraordinarias, y cómo podríamos vencerle; así podremos atarle y tenerle sujeto. A cambio de tus servicios, cada uno de nosotros te dará mil cien monedas de plata. -Entonces ella dijo a Sansón: –Por favor, dime de dónde te vienen esas fuerzas extraordinarias. ¿Hay algún modo de atarte sin que te puedas soltar?-Sansón le respondió: –Si me atan con siete cuerdas de arco que todavía no estén secas, perderé mi fuerza y seré un hombre común y corriente. Los jefes de los filisteos llevaron a Dalila siete cuerdas de arco nuevas, y con ellas Dalila ató a Sansón. Y como ya antes había escondido a unos hombres en su cuarto, gritó: –¡Sansón, te atacan los f...
