Not Too Good to be True

Have you seen those commercials where they will give you cash for your gold? All you have to do is send them your pieces of gold and then they'll send you a certified check for its value. I'm sorry; this just seems too good to be true. But I wonder how many people have thought this was a viable way to get some quick cash.

Too many fall for easy schemes that make incredible promises. Yet some of these people are the same ones who refuse to believe in the simplicity of the Gospel. They think there is a "catch" because redemption can't be free. But it is. Jesus died on the cross to redeem us from sin, enabling us to enter into eternal life when our time here on earth is over. There are no hidden fees; no fine print with broken promises. Eternity is free to all who are willing to receive it.

Instead of falling for false hopes, look to the true hope. Look to Jesus and ask Him for the gift of eternal life that is worth more than all the gold in the world.
