#Investments

It pays to be careful when you are considering investing your hard earned money.  Anyone who does find the right thing  to invest in, does so in order to reap a return.  The stock market is a gamble and even buying land can prove to your undoing.  A farmer not only has bought the land and all the machinery it takes to prepare and reap the harvest, but he has invested in seed and fertilizer and bug killers plus all the time it takes to get the crop growing.  The weather can be his worst enemy - no rain, storms with wind and hail and cold coming too soon.  All that has been invested might be lost.

God has invested an immeasurable amount in this planet for the sake of the human race and He has the right to expect a good return.  Explorers have discovered iron and gold and diamonds and more and scientists have put God's laws to work and developed electricity and X-ray and microwaves and more and all this has benefited mankind.  God is constantly working bless us, but does He get a return?

God planted His Son in a grave two thousand years ago.  His perfect Son had done no wrong, yet paid the full price for all, yes, all the wrongs done by the human race till the end of time by His death on a cross.  God accepted Jesus' payment and proved that He did by resurrecting Him on the third day.  God expects a return for this investment. 

What does He want?  His word tells us that He is not willing that any should perish.  That means that He does not want any person to spend eternity in Hell.  He wants Jesus' payment to be utilized by every one of us.  He wants everyone to understand their condition as condemned until, and if they see Jesus as the answer and claim their right to eternal life by trusting in His death and resurrection.

Do you understand that heaven is a perfect place and only perfection is allowed there?  Are you perfect?   There is a solution.  When you admit your condition and just believe that Jesus died for you, you then receive His perfection and Father God sees you as perfect.  You have become a good return for the payment Jesus made.
