Whose righteousness is going to get you to heaven?

"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved." (We should too. 'Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love Thee' [Israel] Ps 122:6.) "For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God but not according to knowledge. For they are ignorant of God's righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth" Rom 10:1.

This is powerful and answers many questions for there are multitudes, not only Jews, trying to establish their own righteousness. If you really witness you will see this over and over. Most people are trying to establish their own righteousness but "doing the best they can", "treating their fellowman right", "loving people" trying to keep the ten commandments" or "live by the golden rule".and on and on.

NO. Jesus took our sins and paid the price, He suffered and died for what we did. Now when we receive the Lord Jesus from our hearts, not give our heart to Jesus but receive Him, we receive His righteousness and that gets us to heaven.

Stay tuned to see what we do after we are saved and have His righteousness to get into heaven that brings blessing here and rewards there. This is so important to understand. There are going to be vast differences in rewards in heaven.

Don't miss the phenomenal story of a girl getting a tract through the mail and 63 in her family were won to Christ through that one tract. You will put a tract in every letter. Coming to you as soon as I get all the details. Go to www.sumnerwemp.com

TODAY as I was getting a blood test, a doctor came in. We spoke and I said, "Let me give you something terrific to read" and handed him "Your Ticket to Heaven". He read the title and said emphatically, "Oh, I need that, I will read that." WOW. I get that same response over and over. The easiest tract by far to give out. Call 1-877-872-2871 to order. YOU are loved by God and me. ABC Sumner
