I Know Who Holds Tomorrow...Do You?

"I know who holds tomorrow", is a statement that only someone who believes that Christ has made their payment for sin on the Cross, can make with confidence.
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” (2Cor. 5:21) 
They know there are no rituals, payments, or good works that will earn them entrance to Heaven. 
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Eph. 2:8-9)
They know there is only one price that will give someone the right to enter Heaven when they leave this Earth; and, that is the price Our Precious Savior paid on Calvary for the sin of the world.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)  
They know that, even though they may live good lives, they are not perfect. 
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Rom. 3:23) 
They know that Heaven is a perfect place, and no sin can enter in.
“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.” (Rev. 21:27)
They know that when they believed that Jesus died for them, He gave them the righteousness; or perfection, they needed to have everlasting life, right now! 
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” (2Cor. 5:21)
They can know with absolute assurance they have eternal life...the Bible says so! 
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” (1Jn. 5:13)
They know they “shall never perish,” or, stand in danger of going to Hell. Our Lord holds us in the palm of His Almighty Hand. We are not, by our own good works, struggling to hold on to one of His fingers. The promise is, We “shall never perish,” and “neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand"; not, even we, ourselves! 
"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand." (John 10:28-29)
You may know the subject of Bible Prophecy backwards and forwards; but, unless you know the Savior it reveals to us, it is all for nothing! 
“...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,...” (Acts 16:31) 
Then, you too will... Know Who Holds Tomorrow.
