Knight Ezri didn’t earn her place in the Red Kingdom by accident. She was chosen, trained, and commissioned to serve with purpose. She wore the emblem not just on her armor, but in her heart. No matter how dark the path or how fierce the enemy, she remembered who she belonged to—and that changed everything.
In a much greater way, we who belong to God’s Kingdom have not earned our place by effort, goodness, or bravery. We were lost in sin, helpless to save ourselves. But God, in His love and mercy, chose us through Christ. God chose you too—He chose to make you, to love you, and to send His only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross to take the punishment for all the wrong things you’ve done.
The Bible tells us:
“But God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” —Romans 5:8 (WEB)
We didn’t clean ourselves up or prove our worth to be accepted by God. While we were still rebels—sinners—Jesus gave His life for us. His death on the cross paid the price for our sin, and His resurrection opened the way for us to be forgiven, redeemed, and made citizens of God’s eternal Kingdom.
In Christ we belong to a King who fought for us. Through salvation in Jesus Christ, we are no longer defined by our past, our failures, or this fallen world. We become children of God, heirs of grace, and soldiers in the Lord’s army—not by works, but by faith.
Have you placed your trust in Jesus as your Savior? Have you turned from your sin and surrendered your life to Him as the Lord and Boss of your life? That is the only way to enter God’s Kingdom. And once you belong to Him, you are His forever.
God’s plan for salvation is for all who are willing to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. So, if you are not sure that you have eternal life—if you are not sure that you belong to God and His Kingdom, please go to ThreeThirtyMinistries.com/life and discover God’s plan for you.

Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank You for loving me even when I was a sinner. I know I cannot earn salvation. Thank You for coming to die in my place. I believe that You rose again, and I trust in You alone for forgiveness and eternal life. I surrender my life to You. Please forgive me and be the Lord and Savior of my life.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
