Should it concern us that the bible never calls us to ask Jesus into our hearts. Should it concern us that the bible never mentions such a superstitious sinners prayer and yet that is exactly what we have sold to so many as salvation.

When you come to Jesus, you don't come to get health, wealth and prosperity. You come to Jesus to get Jesus

Don't underestimate what God can do with ordinary people.

God has made a way of salvation for the lost. Not a way, but the way. And this is the good news - the gospel.

So the challenge for us is to live in such a way that we are radically dependent on and desperate for the power that only God can provide.

Radical obedience to Christ is not easy... It's not comfort, not health, not wealth, and not prosperity in this world. Radical obedience to Christ risks losing all these things. But in the end, such risk finds its reward in Christ. And he is more than enough for us.

As long as you and I understand salvation as checking off a box to get to God, we will find ourselves in the meaningless sea of world religions that actually condemn the human race by exalting our supposed ability to get to God. On the other hand, when you and I realize that we are morally evil, dead in sin and deserving of God's wrath with no way out on our own, we begin to discover our desperation for Christ.
