Thus speaketh Christ our Lord unto us,Hebrews 11:6 says, "Without faith it is impossible to please Him," and that means faith in Jesus Christ. You don't get into the kingdom by sincerity, by religiosity, by reformation, by kindness, by service to the church, not even by simply naming the name of Christ; you get there only by personal trust and faith in Christ.
ye call Me Master and obey Me not,
ye call Me Light and see Me not,
ye call Me Way and walk Me not,
ye call Me Life and desire Me not,
ye call Me Wise and follow Me not,
ye call Me Fair and love Me not,
ye call Me Rich and ask Me not,
ye call Me Eternal and seek Me not,
ye call Me Gracious and trust Me not,
ye call Me Noble and serve Me not,
ye call Me Mighty and honor Me not,
ye call Me Just and fear Me not,
if I condemn you, blame Me not.
Note: This is from Truth Endures - Commemorating Forty Years of Unleashing God's Truth One Verse at a Time 1969-2009. Landmark Sermons by John MacArthur.
Sermon: How to Play Church - first sermon preached at Grace Church February 9, 1969.
The whole sermon is as good today as it was in 1969!!

David, The message needed never changes does it? Where would we be without God's grace?
