Imagine with me that a guy went on the court for a Lakers game… dressed in a Lakers uniform… displaying great skill, size, and athleticism… BUT is not on the roster… What is security going to do?
Basically they are going to escort the guy off of the court, maybe even out of the gym!
This is a simple and short devo this week… there will be a day where some will stand before the Lord in bewilderment… wondering why they are being escorted out of the gym. They will try to point out how good they were and how they measure up to those that are getting in, BUT THEY ARE NOT ON THE ROSTER!
Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord,” shall enter the kingdom of heaven…
Many will say, “Have we not…”
And then I will declare to them, “I never knew you; depart from Me…”
Matthew 7:21-23
So what is the requirement to be on the roster?
He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, BECAUSE he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:18
Notice that it has nothing to do with measuring up or being good enough, BUT in accepting the Substitute Jesus as one’s Savior and way onto God’s roster!
