A Moral man in need of Salvation!

While I was in Washington, D.C., I was astonished to see so many immigrants were enmeshed in the mundane, labor force that supports the economical and tourism infrastructure that it is.

I dialogued with more than a few Muslims. Taxi drivers, waiters, and barkeeps and a small number of ‘lapsed’ Mohammad-influenced believers.

The eventual question, “How do you get to Heaven (Paradise)? was usually responded with a Cornelius disposition and character influences, see below).

According to Acts Chapter 10, Cornelius was a high-minded, moral man…but he was LACKING something!!!!

1. I am a good person. I hate evil and evil people and evil ways

2. I help the poor; I fight injustice and I am a defender of just causes

3. God helps those that help themselves…I help myself!

4. I’ve been a good son/daughter; I am good husband/wife

5. I keep the Ten Commandments

6. I was raised in a Christian home

7. I always pray

8. I never stolen from anyone, or killed anybody…live and let live….

9. I am an honest, tax-paying, hard worker.

10. I am a good parent and a good citizen and I’ve never smoked weed and don’t do drugs or drink

11. I was baptized as an infant and I did all my religious rites, and ceremonial, ritual obligations…

12. I go to church.

13. God knows that I am a sinner…but I know He will understands me when I see Him face to face..

14. All religions lead to God

As one reads the entire chapter, we can safely and assuredly come to the conclusion, that Morality does not have the power to forgive sins and transgressions. Only God can!

Cornelius moral character features:

A) Devout man

B) Fears God

C) Family man

D) Giver of Alms (generous, benevolent, sharing his wealth to aid, relieve and assist the poor and deprived.

E) Man of prayer

F) Just man—guided by truth, reason and justice and fairness.

G) Good reputation among the Jewish nation---integrity, character and integrity

What was Cornelius lacking?

Forgiveness of his sins…..

....according to the Bible, only Christ Jesus can forgive, forget and bury our sin(s) in the deepest part of the ocean….forgive and forget. Wow!

Are you a moral person, or are you in need of a Savior to forgive you of your evil and deviance you’ve ever committed…? Then, my dearest friend, Jesus is YOUR answer!!
