The Hiss of the Serpent



Satan injects into the minds of people today so many “ifs.” 

            IF you live a good life…
            IF you do what is right…
            IF you go to church…
            IF you work for the benefit of others…

But the Bible teaches that “ifs” are not enough to meet God’s requirements for salvation. Our good works and intentions are not enough. Jesus said, “You must be born again.” (John 3:7). Only when we turn to Christ in faith and trust, confessing our sins to Him and seeking His forgiveness, can we be assured of our salvation. Satan will do all in His power to make us trust ourselves instead of Christ. But only Christ can save us- and He will, if we will commit our lives to Him and trust His work on the cross for our salvation. The hiss of the serpent is the “if” of death.

-Billy Graham
