Chances and odds

Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Your chance of winning the lottery on a single ticket is one in 175 million.
The chance of an average person living in the US being struck by lightning in a given year is estimated at 1 in 500,000.
Your chances of being attacked by a shark are just one in 11.5 million.
1.7% of college players play professionally, 0.08% of high school players do.

I love reading about odds and chances, how wonderful it would be to win the lottery, or avoid being struck by lighting. There's something that we can't leave to chance, our salvation. Salvation is not about odds, it is about decision, it is about accepting Jesus as our personal savior, but if you like chances and odds here's a fact for you, if you confess Jesus as your savior there's a hundred percent possibilities of you joining him in heaven.
