Too Proud? Ask God for Humility and a Broken and Contrite Heart

There will be people who won't go to heaven for eternity. They are those who were too proud to receive the only remedy for the problem that plagues humanity. Only pride prevents the crookedness within us all from being remedied...only pride keeps one from bowing humbly at the foot of the cross in deep thanks. No one deserves to be in heaven with God, but those who will be there will know it is by his grace through Christ alone that they are there. 

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:16-17 ESV)
