    Default Ultimately The Choice Is Yours

    Ultimately the choice is yours.

    We are living in strange times, times that most people would describe as scary, but others live these times with an enthusiastic anticipation, for they fear not, and they have something a lot of people don’t, they have a relationship with God, through the Son they are part of him, and in that they find peace. Now those people are blessed, for as long as they stay true to what they know to be truth - The Word - they have nothing to fear. This is something that requires work in these times, as false teachers, and false prophets are everywhere, and this could just be the start. With false miracles, with false Christs still on the agenda, the only ones that have hope are the ones that truly follow The Word. For they know this as truth, they know what all these mean. Those “Christians” that make up things in the Word, or cut away peaces of it, or twist it, they got a problem. Because they are the group that will easily go along in a one world religion, as long as it comes with a credit worthy story. For these people there is a choice to make, the choice will be who do you want to follow? A lot will fall, that seems certain, as forces come from all sides threatening with all kind of things, yet with God we know that for all there is still hope.
    Yet there is an even larger group that now has to make a clear choice, and this is the group I want to talk to right now, and that group is the group that has either not made any choices yet or has made the clear choice against following Him, although in fairness that is really the same thing. They are the group that is floating around in space and time, with no home, with no goal, with no purpose other then to “have fun” and do as the flesh tells them to do. This is true for most western people. How many times don’t we see the people, especially the young ones, say on all kinds of media, oh my goal in life? Yeah my goal in life is to have fun, and well I don’t care about anything or anyone else. That is the sad state of our civilisations. Believe me with my 21years of age, my atheist(read Liberal Churchian which has no real significant difference with Atheism) background, I have been on all sides of the park. I’ve seen what the life goals of these guys, and girls, are. In fact I remember the days that my goals were very similar, be succesfull, get girls, be wealthy, etc. You know the list most of us make. Yet what does all of this mean in the eyes of the Lord? Well they mean nothing, actually if they are the focus of your existence then you got a problem. Scripture is clear on the issue, Jesus Himself spoke out on these things(Mark10:23;Luke16:13;Matthew13:22). Yet He also gave us all hope. What is true wealth? What is true success? What are true meaningful relationships? Are those things one can find in The World? Or can we only find those in Him? The real truth is, that all that is Good can only come from Him and can only be found in Him and such is the nature of it all. What worth is Wealth on this earth when it doesn’t last? What good is a relationship that you ruin by using worldly standards? And what worth is success when in the end of it all it CAN”T and it WON”T make a difference in the Judgment that is cast over us all. Don’t think that you can buy God off with money(guess what it is already His to start with), or with works(a bad + a good does not make a right), or that you can reason with Him on that day, He is giving you chances, He is giving you the Choice as He is calling you. But the real question in this is Do YOU want to listen? Do You want to be saved? Do You want to have a full life, with Godly relationships, and with a spiritual wealth that is unmatchable in anything? That are the questions you must ask yourself.
    Now the consequence of failing to accept Him is very simple. Each of us are called to give account for what we have done in our life, and we have to answer to Him, and my Question to you is do you think you life a life that is worthy of Him? Do you think it is up to His righteous and Holy standard?.... Just think about it can you say it is?...
    The current day church has come up with weird feel good messages, and there are even those that question the existence of hell, they question it because they say, Well surely God loves us all why would He send any of us to Hell if He does? The Bible, which is vital in all of our lives, is clear that Hell does exist, so where are these people coming from? Are they scared or something? Let me explain you why there reasoning doesn’t work. God gave us, you, me, even those that hate Him and His people, His son, and truly He died for us all, but does that mean he will save those that hate Him? That have not seeked him? That have not tried(none succeed) to become more like him? A relationship works both ways, He gives us so much if we allow Him to do that, He wants to save us all indeed He does, but do You want to be saved? Would you save someone that spits you in your face all your life? What would you say if someone would come upto you saying well, you know, I killed your son, I did everything you told me not to do, and I’ve known my entire life that there was a way out, but you know that would have meant submitting myself, and repenting for my sins, and well I didn’t feel like that because you know I was having fun. Would you say well if you explain it like that, that makes all the sense in the world? I did send my Son for you, and wanted to enrich your life, but your way works aswell. Surely none of us would do that would we? So why would we expect God to do it that way? Now is the time for Choices people, it isn’t tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, for then it could be too late. Now is the time to choose, do you want Jesus as your Righteous attorney when Judgement comes, or do you want to hold on to what you have now. I understand that it is scary to give your life to someone else, I know that is a reason why so many are refusing to see the truth for what it is. But I’m telling you, if you don’t see what is in front of you, what is in front of all of us, it isn’t going to end well. And let me tell you that can be very soon. Many of you have chosen not too see the truth, because they are scared that they are not in control, I know this. I know of people who are actually saying yeah it looks like the world is coming to an end, but when you confront them with prophecy they don’t want to hear about it. Why? Why? Well they are afraid, they are afraid to acknowledge their smallness, they are afraid to agree to their failures and their lack of knowledge. And maybe that is so with you. But know this no, one will attain life, but through Him and no worldly knowledge can reach that. How many times have we not heard that those people that have thought they reached it all, money, fame, success, wife and children, and still they feel empty? Take for example Brad Pitt who came out and said just that in an interview. Now most of us would say he’s got it all, but he hasn’t and he knows it, and I’m guessing you do to. I am convinced we all have that space in our hearts for God. People try in so many ways to fill that void, drugs, parties, money, alcohol, fornication, and many other things. But only He can fill that void, you just have to want to acknowledge and see just that. You see salvation is a very simple thing, but it isn’t a one way street. You can either submit your will to Him, accept Him as your LORD and SAVIOUR, and feel free and not need to worry about anything, or you could try to do it on your own. And again that is not going to save you. But you have the choice. He is calling you, He is knocking on the door of your heart, of your life, ultimately the choice is yours.

    Great post, Kist. But you know someone recently told me not making a choice (for) is a choice against. It's a conscience decision not to make a decision. And you're right. That's the majority group unfortunately.

    That is the beauty of Christ's love, it allows for rejection yet still remains!
