Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

If you have your Bibles, turn to Luke chapter 18 as we look at the confessions of an IRS agent.

This teaching of Jesus perhaps more than any other clearly answers the question, how a person can be saved.

How a person can know for sure he's going to be in heaven one day.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

The more time we spend reading about other people's problems, the better we tend to feel about ourselves.

But that sort of comparison is a slippery slope because none of us can measure up to God's standards.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress explains why you can't receive salvation

without first being humbled. Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message.

Dr. Jeffress? Thanks David and welcome to a brand new week of Bible teaching on Pathway to Victory.

Whether you're a parent or a grandparent, an aunt or an uncle, all of us bear an enormous burden for the children in our lives.

In fact, did you know that a recent national survey revealed that a large majority of parents today, in fact 73% of them,

are somewhat or very concerned with their children's spiritual development.

And for good reason, our kids are growing up in chaotic and confusing times.

Well, for that reason, I'm intent on equipping families with tools that will help them and still godly virtues in their children.

Such as my brand new children's book called Jesus Favorite Stories for Kids.

In this fully illustrated children's book, I share ten easy Bible lessons for children that provide a foundation for faith that will endure the test of time.

And a copy of my new children's book is yours when you give a generous gift toward the matching challenge.

Let me make sure that you understand exactly what this wonderful matching challenge means.

Right now, when you give a generous gift of, say, $100, a group of friends will match it, making it a $200 gift.

Your gift of $500 becomes $1,000.

A $10,000 gift would become $20,000.
