Fake products cause businesses to lose $500 billion each year and 750,000 jobs. To avoid being a victim, experts say research the reputation of a business, train your eye to spot fakes, and watch out for exaggerated claims. But losses from fake products pale in comparison to loss from misplaced faith. God wants us to be sure our faith rests in Him and not in some counterfeit. To give us that assurance, God sent His Son from heaven. Jesus declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me.” After declaring that, Jesus died to pay our sin debt, returned to heaven, and now serves as our eternal Intercessor before God Almighty. The writer of Hebrews Ch. 8 said, “We have a High Priest who sat down in the place of honor beside the throne of the majestic God in heaven. There he ministers in the heavenly Tabernacle, the true place of worship that was built by the Lord and not by human hands.” So since Christ our Lord now sits in the place of highest honor, interceding for those who accept him, we have a firm basis for our faith. We have peace with God and power to live productively here on earth.
