Are You On The List?

Are you on the list? We invited a friend to our house, but before he arrived we had to call the gatehouse, because we live in a closed community and no one can enter, unless their name is registered in the list of authorized persons. The same happens in clubs and in many important and exclusive places. Those who guard the gates do not check the personal references of who wants to enter. They just check if they are registered in the list. The same happens in heaven. Those who guard the gates of heaven, will not check our personal references, they will just check if our name is registered in the list. This is why Jesus said: Rejoice because your names are registered in heaven, and He also said: Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord! What to do to be registered on the list? We read in chapter 1 of John that all who believed in Jesus and accepted Him, received the right to become children of God, and it is explained in chapter 3 that God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. Believe in Jesus, receive Him into your heart and register yourself in heaven.
