CHOICES THAT LEAD TO ETERNITY
Regardless
whether a person believes in Heaven or Hell, regardless how much you know about
religious or secular writings, you will spend eternity somewhere.
You may very
well think; that is crazy thinking. You live, you die, end of story. Not so. In
all of my weekly lessons, I never speak much about hell. Reason being, people
stop reading when you speak about hell.
Hear me out.
Life is so short and with today’s chaotic happenings, you could lose your life
at the most unexpected time. The choices you make and the lifestyle you choose
will be the determining factor on where you will spend eternity.
I am not
responsible for where you will spend eternity. I am only responsible for
letting you know your choices and which one is the right choice.
By choosing
Jesus Christ as savior and making Him the Lord of your life, you make the best
choice.
By not
choosing Him as Lord then the alternative choice is already made for you.
John
14:6 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no
man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Because of
Adams sin in the garden of Eden we as humans were separated from God the
Father. Jesus came to shed His blood as a sacrifice, to redeem us from our
sins, so that we might regain our fellowship with the father.
Jesus is
both God and man, by accepting him as savior we are automatically reunited with
God.
Accepting
Jesus as Lord of your life will allow the Holy Spirit to come into your life
and work in your life. You will be able to make spiritual choices with his
guidance.
Gods
promises and His provision will carry you through the hard times in your life.
He will give you divine strength and the blessings stored up for you in heaven
will be poured into your life. You become a child of God and heir to his
kingdom.
Isaiah 56:7-8 7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful
in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be
accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for
all people.
8 The Lord God, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather
others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
Seek the Lord while you can. God will have mercy upon you and
forgive you for all your short comings. Everyone stumbles and falls in life,
but with Jesus, the Lord will pick you up and help you in your time of need.
You can always put your trust in His word.
Every word the bible is the inspired word of God when his word is
spoken it will accomplish what He says. You must be able to hear and understand
what the word is saying to you.
John 8:43-45-47-51
43: 43 Why do ye not understand
my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
45: 45 And because I tell you the
truth, ye believe me not.
47: 47 He that is of God heareth
God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
51: 51 Verily, verily, I say unto
you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
Jesus is asking why can’t you understand what I am saying, is it because
you are unable to do so. People that don’t understand because they refuse to
listen. If you have had children you probably understand this. Sometimes you
need to just stop and listen for God to speak to you.
The attitudes and actions of some people clearly define them as
followers of the wrong choice. They may not be conscious of it but their hatred
of the truth, their lies and their wrong intentions indicate how far their
choice has taken them.
Anyone whose father is God listens gladly to the word of God. They
have made the right choice. Where will you spend eternity?
When Jesus says those who obey won’t die, he is talking about
spiritual death. Not physical death. Those who accept Christ Jesus as Lord of
their lives will be raised from the grave to live eternally with Him.
Think about your choices. Where will your choices take you? What
road are they taking you down? Are your heaven bound with the Savior? The
alternative to being heaven bound is not good. Time is running out, choose the
Savior.
Stay in the word,
Brother Andy
