May I see your credentials?

• May I see your credentials?
• Driver's license and boarding pass, please.
• Can I see some ID for that?

We're asked for our ID a lot.

• For proof that we are who we say we are.
• For proof that we know what we're talking about.
• For proof that we're authorized or qualified to do something.

One of the crazy ways that God works is he says "no ID needed".

He doesn't need to see your credentials to let you in.

• ...Into his Word.
• ...Into the church.
• ...Into heaven.

He doesn't ask...

• Are you good enough?  Smart enough? Educated enough?
• Are you qualified?

So throw out the credentials and come on in... Philippians 3:7-11

Not only do you not need the "credentials" but you don't even have to be an expert of any sort.
Just a believer in Jesus.
Philippians 3:12-14

=====================

Seriously, God?
I don't need to bring anything but my dirty, broken, messed-up self?
And you will let me in?
Wow.
WOW!
Thank you!
Amen.
