My friend, do you have Christ? Have you accepted the righteousness that He offers in Christ? You can’t be saved on any other basis. You have to be perfect to go to heaven. And I have news for you—you’re not perfect. And I’m not perfect—but I’m going to heaven, and I’m going to heaven because Jesus died for me, and He was buried and He rose again. And He was delivered for my offenses, but He’s been raised for my justification, my righteousness. He’s perfect. I’ll go to heaven because He took my place. Do you have Him today as your Savior?

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
