500 Credits in Heaven
If God gave us 500 credit passes to get to Heaven, would any of us make the show?
Here's the deal, each lie costs 10 credits and each bad thought is 10 credits also.

It doesn't get any better - if you commit adultry,  that price will be 50 credits right away.
Each time you don't honor your parents, costs you 50 more on that day.

If you don't keep the Sabbath holy - that's a fat 75 more -that's the fine.
If you don't have God first in your life - that will debit your account 100 credits each time.

Blasphemy and taking the Lord's name in vain is a deduction of all 500 right off the top.
Well, you can see right now 500 credits to Heaven gets used up fast because sinning we can't stop.

To end this situation there's no way any of us could avoid using all of the credits held for us in our account.
So, thank God that through His Son we're saved - for Jesus has paid everyone's amount!
