When i was growing up,Muhammad Ali was boxing and he is arguably the most famous boxer to be crowned the heavyweight champion of the world.We marveled at his combination of finesse and power.And few of us will ever forget his antics outside the ring. "I am the greatest" " I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee" where just a few of his sayings.Many loved him and many couldn't stand him.
    Ali, a deeply religious man in the Muslim belief, explained in a Reader's Digest interview what his faith meant to him.
        "It means a ticket to heaven.One day we're all going to die,and God's going to judge us,our good and bad deeds. If the bad outweighs the good,you go to hell.If the good outweighs the bad,you go to heaven."
             While many of Ali's jabs hit their mark,his explanation of how to get to heaven was way off.
       The God of the Bible is going to judge all of us one day,that part is true.But the good that we've done will not wipe out our bad thoughts and deeds. We can't possibly do enough good works to compensate for our sins. The truth is that God would declare every last one of us guilty and worthy of eternal punishment if it weren't for the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ.
     Jesus Christ is the only ticket to heaven. We can't do a thing to resolve our sin problem,except put ourselves at the mercy of God and believe that Jesus' death KO's the penalty of our sin.It is only because of Jesus' sacrifice that God can look at those of us who have accepted that sacrifice and see us as redeemed sinners who have the righteousness of Christ (Romans 3:22).
                 Whether we think we are "The Greatest" or just a regular Joe --that's the way it is.

Friends,if there are any of you that don't know Jesus and haven't asked Him in your heart or for forgiveness,please send me a message and lets talk. There is nothing you or I can do to win our way to heaven,only through Jesus is the way.                       HE IS THE GREATEST !!!!!
