You know the old saying: If you see a turtle on a fence post you know that he had some help getting there!

Just as sure as a turtle cannot climb to the top of a fence post, we have absolutely no ability to reach heaven on our own. We need God’s help. A friend of mine once said, “No one will ever enter heaven without first acknowledging that he doesn’t deserve to be there!”

Ephesians 1:8-9 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”

Many people are trying to earn their way into heaven. It can’t be done. The Bible plainly tells us that we are saved by the grace of God through our faith in Jesus Christ.

Thank God that we have the help we need in Jesus!
