I got my grade for my New Testament class last night. It was a B+. The lowest grade I got in my seminary career has been a B, yet every semester, I wait on pins and needles to see what my grades are. I want to make sure I've done enough and worked hard enough and learned enough to pass the class. This semester was especially stressful because it was my last before I graduate and move.
Could you imagine if salvation were like class. If you had to learn the stuff, and take a test, write an essay and hope you pass. If you had to come to the Gates of Heaven to find out if you pass or fail? I for one am very thankful that Jesus offered to take my test for me. He already took it and got a perfect score, and I just get to take His score. What a relief. I don't have to stress about graduating from this life and head to Eternal Life with my Lord.
And since He aced the test for you, you can live your life without having to stress out about your grade. pretty awesome, if you ask me.
