Mistaken Confidence

You can't earn your way into heaven
The wages for sinning is death
Jesus is longing to save you from sin;
Don't wait till you draw your last breath.
Jesus gave himself to give us salvation

A successful businessman made this statement: "Almost every religion talks about a savior coming. When you look in the mirror in the morning, you're looking at the savior. Nobody else is going to save you but yourself."

The bible teaches the exact opposite of such a self-sufficient confidence. We cannot save ourselves. We can be saved only by God's Son, Jesus, who lived a sinless life, died as the perfect sacrifice for our sins, and rose from the grave.
