OUR PASSPORT

When we enter a foreign country

There is a necessity;

It is mandatory and it’s a requirement

It’s our passport that sets us free.

It’s an admission to a particular place

And it’s an official document;

It certifies our identity

And our citizenship cements.

How do we expect heaven to enter

Without the legal requirement,

The official stamp upon our heart

And the seal that’s heaven sent?

God does not accept visas

As they’re a temporary admission;

They smell like a passport but ain’t indeed

As they have a different mission.

Jesus made enormous claims

Of being the only way;

The truth, the life and access to the Father

With a heavy price He paid.

Is Jesus our passport or just a visa?

We need to challenge ourselves,

As the road is long and narrow indeed

Where very few saints do dwell.

Our true passport to success

Is only found through Christ,

And when our soul departs from our flesh

His covering will suffice.

So before we take our final trip

To our eternal destination…

Let’s ensure our passport is valid and stamped

To be sure without hesitation.

” Jesus said to him ‘I am the way the truth and the life, no-one comes to the Father except through Me.'” John 14:6

“Enter by the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14

“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me though he may die, he shall live.” John 11:25
