What is the best Prize you could ever win? A million dollars? A trip around the world? Having your debts paid off? Or would erasing your sin debt with God be a better deal than all of the wealth on earth? (Matthew 16:26) Let’s see.
Have you broke God’s Law by lying? If one makes someone a murderer, then one lie makes you a liar. Have you stolen, lusted after others, coveted money, or cursed God? God will not hold lawbreakers guiltless. The sentence for these crimes will be eternal death in Hell. God wants to show lawbreakers mercy, but the penalty for their crimes must be paid and their record of sin wiped clean before they can enter Heaven. That also makes Jesus’ payment and forgiveness of your sins literally the offer of a lifetime – an eternal lifetime! Remember, your soul is worth infinitely more to Him than all the money in the world!
Run the race of life to win the eternal Prize. When you hit the finish line and take your last breath, will you have banked on good works, luck, or chance to take you to Heaven? Or will you report and trust in the cross of Jesus Christ to settle your sin debt with God? Jesus is the Grand Prize who gives true riches to believers eternal life with Him in Heaven forever!
