Everyone needs a Savior, and His name is Jesus.
It doesn't matter if you are "good" like a Pharisee in your own eyes or one of the worst of sinners like the Apostle Paul was considered for persecuting Christians before his actual conversion. It doesn't matter if you haven't ever accepted Jesus and His "free" gift of salvation, or you have been a Christian warming the seats on the pews for decades. It doesn't matter if you have not ever stepped inside a church building, or you grew up in the church and attended on a weekly basis. It doesn't matter if you keep all of the man-made rules, regulations, and traditions or you break all of those rules, regulations, and traditions in this world. It doesn't matter if you are a goody two-shoes or a dirty, rotten scoundrel in the eyes of this world. It doesn't matter where you fall on those different spectrums. It doesn't matter if it is just one of those items or a combination of those items within those different ranges either.
Also... if you break one part of the law, you break all of the law (See Deuteronomy 5:1-22). Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 22:37-40, NKJV)
Can you really love God with all of your heart, soul, mind, strength? Can you truly love your neighbor as yourself?
If not, then you have broken all of the law.
And, if you break all the law...Then, you cannot truly do anything by yourself. You cannot really do anything on your own in this world.
You need a Savior. He's not just a part-time Savior either. He's a full-time Savior.
He's a Savior for every moment of every day.
Do you recognize and acknowledge your need for the Savior?
Have you confessed your need for Him?
That is truly all that matters then.
Recognize, acknowledge, confess your need for the one, true Savior of this world every moment of every day for the rest of your life here on earth as it is in heaven.
(See Isaiah 53; Matthew 6:10; John 3:16-17; Romans 3:23, 6:23, 10:8-10)
