Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Romans 4:4-5

Beloved, God is a merciful father and a loving God. In Acts Chapter 10, a centurion named Cornelius was mentioned; he was a devout man, doing the right things. In the sight of men, he was a righteous man: he prayed to God and even fasted (Acts 10:30). But he wasn't saved (Acts 11:14) because he didn't believe in Jesus, obviously because he hadn't heard about Him. The angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, telling him to send for Peter. Peter's assignment was to tell him about Jesus.

Why didn't God justify him by his good deeds? God is all powerful and there is nothing impossible for Him to do. But God had to follow the principle of Imputation of His Righteousness, through believing in Christ Jesus, not by works. When Peter spoke to Cornelius and his household about Jesus, they believed and were saved, receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit.

No matter who you are or how many good deeds you've done, you need to believe in Christ Jesus to be saved.
"If you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart, believe (adhere to, trust in and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9).

Like Cornelius, you can make up your mind to be saved as you read this today. Don't hold back, believe!

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I believe that You came to die for my sins. I confess with my mouth that You are Lord over my life. Thank You Lord for I am now saved, in Jesus Name.
