Rule #1

In my first post of 2017 (here), I mentioned that I would be starting a new series, "Sheepdog's Rules".  Today, I kick the series off with Rule #1 - the most important of them all. The rest of the rules will be posted in no particular order of priority, but if you overlook Rule #1, you will one day lose everything. So, I guess Rule #1 is not really one of the Sheepdog's Rules, but God's Rule.

Rule #1 - 
When "The Roll Is Called Up Yonder", be sure your name is on the roll. (See John 3:16* and Romans 10:9-13**.) 

* John 3:16 (NKJV) - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

** Romans 10:9-13 (NKJV) - ... if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For "whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
