. . .the Bible tells me so!
"And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." Matthew 19:24
Is it possible for a real camel to go through the eye of a real needle? I think we all know the answer ~ he won't make it! It is impossible. But would it be possible for God to put a camel through a needle's eye? Well, God is not in that business, but He could do it. And only God can regenerate a man. That is the point our Lord is making here. "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
Many people today think they are going to be saved by who they are or by what they have. You are truly saved when you find out that you are a sinner, a beggar in God's sight, with nothing to offer Him for your salvation. As long as a person feels he can do something to impress God or pay God for salvation, he can no more be saved than a camel can be put through the eye of a needle. God Bless You. |
