Right Enough

 

We need to get over the idea that any of us will be saved by being right on things. We can be right about Jesus and wrong about a lot of things and still be saved. If we are wrong about Jesus we can be right about everything else and still be lost. If that had been the case we could never be sure if we were saved. We could never be certain that we were correct about enough things, or about the right ones, to make it to glory. We might be right about nine things and wrong or ignorant about a tenth and have the pearly gate slammed shut in our faces. It isn’t that way, praise God. “If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. But if one loves God, one is known by him” (1 Corinthians 8:3). One of the most outstanding blessings to come to us is that God made our hope dependent upon faith in a person rather than in knowledge of a list of things.
