Do You Belong to Jesus?

Many people consider themselves to be "Alright" with God. Many are tempted to think this because they have experienced some "Blessing" i.e.. a religious experience, a life full of good things, a near miss or a second chance at life. Upon these things and things like them they are banking on going to heaven. Jesus saw crowds of people who came to Him for all manner of reasons, not realizing that their truest need is not to have a comfortable life now, but to have their sins dealt with and to have peace with God. For this to happen we must be painfully aware of our sinfulness. The sermon on the mount is not a prescription for eternal life but a description of the one who does have eternal life. It prepares us to meet the Savior.
