Here is a question for believers and unbelievers alike: Is God a righteous God? Is He a just God? If we put it in our terminology, Is God fair to let a person die and go to Hell who has never even once heard the name of Jesus? Can those who have never heard of Jesus go to Heaven some other way? I will let God answer those questions:
Truth #1 – God is righteous. Psalm 50:6 says, “And the heavens shall declare His righteousness: for God is judge Himself.”
Truth #2 – God is just. Deuteronomy 32:4 says, “He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He.”
Truth #3 – There is no other way to Heaven apart from Jesus Christ. John 14:6 says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.”
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
