PASS or FAIL?
A number of you will be sitting important Exams this year. Let us know about it and we will PRAY for you. We know you will be under quite a lot of pressure!
The question you ask about each Exam is, "Will I pass or fail?"
Whenever we PASS an Exam, it makes us feel GOOD! But when we sometimes FAIL, it makes us feel BAD.. and sometimes we get a bit DEPRESSED!
Perhaps you have even felt like running away?
Well,
it is good to REMEMBER at Exam time, as at every time, that God
LOVES You and He has a wonderful plan for your life. It is GREAT
to PASS and SAD to FAIL but whatever the RESULTS, God is with You
and He is able to make you a SUCCESS in this life and He is able
to MAKE You PERFECT, so You can live with Him for ever in Heaven!
Hey, that's FANTASTIC!
When it comes to God's PASS MARK for getting into Heaven, we need to have lived a PERFECT life or to get 100%. Well some of us are better than others, perhaps, and may score 30% or 40% or 50%. No one is PERFECT, however, and none of us can achieve 100% for LIFE.
In actual fact, the Bible says, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." ROMANS 3 v 23.
The GOOD NEWS is that because the Lord Jesus Christ lived a PERFECT life of 100%, and DIED on the CROSS for our SINS, we all can be given a 100% PASS MARK, if we put our TRUST in Him.
PRAYER
"Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for giving Your PERFECT life up for Me on the CROSS. I have SINNED and I have FAILED the Exam of life. I put my TRUST in You now, and know that You will MARK me up to 100% PASS. Amen."
