Vocation in the Valley

Yes, I am.

Some might take that is me being arrogant. Those who know me have told me that I can give off an air of superiority or that I can seem aloof. My wife even does this thing when we’re in a discussion and I make some assertion, she’ll say with this superior tone, “Of course, I’m Brian Yamabe.” However, my assurance that I am going to Heaven doesn’t come from arrogance, it comes from confidence in the perfect life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of my sins.

So what would happen if I was killed in a car accident after speeding and making an obscene gesture before I had a chance to repent of these sins? I’d still be going to Heaven. Why? Would God look at my heart and know that I meant to be good? Shouldn’t I be a little concerned about what God thinks of me? No way! I don’t want God looking at me for any part of my salvation. My heart? Its wicked. Christ is who I trust in for salvation.
