If you believe that your church membership or your character or your good works today are going to get you to God, then, may I say to you, you bypass God’s way. The Lord Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me.” My suggestion is: why don’t you come God’s way and not man’s way? This is what God requires. Why not be honest with God? Just come right out with it; go to Him, tell Him that you’re a sinner. He already knows it. Talk to God. Tell Him the thing that’s wrong with you. Tell Him about the sin in your life. And God will save you. God will redeem you.
