“Your Attention Please!!!” That’s how I saw a home advertised in The Northern Age – Property Xpress, June 3, 2010 on page 18 and I tell you, I was immediately attentive. Please notice also the three exclamation marks! Four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and two garages. Beautiful pictures showing the property of course and you should read the description. It started like this:  “The first to discover all the benefits this ‘just listed’ home has to offer will buy it and……”

And I hope you are also immediately attentive when I call out to you now: “YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!!”

You probably have noticed that lots of information about the home above is given – but nothing is said about the architect and the builder.

Let me draw your attention to a home where the architect and builder is God! You will agree, once we know who the architect is and who the builder is, we don’t really need to say more about the place.  “For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.”  – Hebrews 11:10

You will probably get excited about that building and cry out, “I want to go there!

But who is going there?

Not everybody enters heaven!

As we are, we cannot enter into heaven. We must be born again. The Lord Jesus Christ said to Nicodemus, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.” – John 3:3

But how do we get there?

Certainly not by doing good works.

The Bible, the Word of the Living God says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.” – Ephesians 2:8,9
