God's Insurance Policy by Joanne Lowe

 "That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory."

Ephesians 1: 12 - 14
King James Version

All of us need insurance on our cars, on our homes, on our property and on our lives in case something happens to us. Many times when people know that they are going to die soon due to a terminal illness, they make sure that all their affairs are in order and thereby insure that their families are taken care of after they die. For those of us who live where hurricanes strike, we know the importance of having insurance on our homes, on our cars and on our property.

All of these insurance policies are expensive and it seems the rates keep going up and up. There is good news, my friends. We have an insurance policy that doesn't cost us anything. It is free to us forever. In fact, there is nothing that we can do to buy this policy. We can't buy it even if we have all the money in the world and there is nothing that we can do to earn this policy.

Jesus is the only one who could have bought this policy because He is the only perfect and sinless person who ever lived. He is also the only one who could have satisfied the requirements of our Heavenly Father. Our Father is a Holy God and He can't look on sin. Even when Jesus, His beloved Son, was hanging on the cross God had to look away because His Son had taken on Him all the sins of every person in the world. How that must have broken the heart of our Heavenly Father!

Jesus has already purchased this insurance policy on the cross and with His precious blood and life, He has paid the price in full. Because of His sacrificial death on the cross, we have the Holy Spirit who is the earnest of our inheritance. Thank God for this insurance policy because without it we would be on our way to hell for all eternity.

Do you have this eternal insurance policy? If you have never invited Jesus into your heart to be your personal Saviour, you will not go to Heaven to be with Jesus. You will spend eternity with satan. What is your choice, Heaven with Jesus or hell with satan? You are the only one who can make the choice. Your family and friends can't make it for you as much as they want to do so. Salvation is a personal matter between Jesus and you. Give your heart and life to Jesus right now before it is too late!
