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.

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.  |

En el amor no hay temor, sino que el amor perfecto echa fuera el temor. El que teme espera el castigo, así que no ha sido perfeccionado en el amor. (1 Juan 4:17b-18) Amor, una palabra que está en la boca de muchos y en el corazón de pocos. Vivimos en un mundo frío y violento, tanto en los hechos como en las palabras, donde el amor parece haberse enfriado. Este ambiente sombrío genera miedo, depresión y desencanto con la vida. Pero cuando alzamos nuestros ojos para ver el verdadero amor, no ese amor que muestran las películas, sino el amor que vence al miedo y supera a la muerte, toda la opresión de este mundo no es suficiente para abatirnos. El amor derramado por Dios a través de su hijo Jesús es capaz de vencer el miedo y el castigo. Debemos alimentarnos de este amor y esparcirlo. Este amor no puede ser prohibido por la ley y nadie es capaz de arrebatarlo. ¡Debemos perfeccionarnos en este amor! Sí, es necesario, pues este es un amor práctico. De la misma forma en que somos alimentados...
