The Cost of Membership
November 1 2016
There are a lot of private clubs for people who can afford them. For example, if you are a golfer, private memberships ca
I have experienced some of these private organizations through
some of my friends and business and I must admit, they are very nice.
The service they offer is exceptional, the elegance is unparalleled, fine dining and overall atmosphere are all wonderful. Once again, not all can enjoy these memberships because of the cost.
As I was thinking about this, I realized that God has given us an exclusive membership that is completely free of charge. He extends an invitation to everyone regardless of their financial status and He requires no monthly dues. God does not ask for a background check, application fees, or recommendations. As a matter of fact, He is not at all interested in what our past life has been. He accepts us just the way we are. He gives us a new life and wipes our slate completely clean. The membership gives us rights to such blessings as healings, wealth, wisdom, prosperity, new life, renewed thinking, and eternal life. What I like most about being a member is that Jesus paid all the cost that was required. Hence it really does not cost us a dime. All we have to do is call upon His name and we are in.
The world offers us memberships that pleases our flesh, is temporary, and gives us prestige and status. Jesus offers a membership that is far superior to anything we can obtain here on earth. His membership gives us entry into heaven and grants us eternal life.
Father we thank you for the divine membership you have given to us.
