Acts 26:12-18 "Whereupon as I (Saul before he became the Apostle Paul) went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, at midday, O King, I saw in the way a light from Heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, Saul, why persecutest thou ME ? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And I said, Who art thou, LORD ? And HE said, I AM JESUS WHOM thou persecutest. But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of the Satan unto GOD. that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and sanctified by faith that is in ME."
ALL humanity is divided into two camps. The Scriptures clearly delineate this division:
1. All men are either in CHRIST (spiritually alive) or in Adam (spiritually dead) (1st.Corinthians 15:22
2. All are either in CHRIST or outside of CHRIST (Colossians 4:5)
3. All mankind either has the SON or does not have the SON, has life or does not have life (1st.John 5:11-12)
4. Everyone on Earth is either a believer or an unbeliever (John 3:18,36), righteous or unrighteous (1st.Corinthians 6:9-11), justified or condemned (Romans 3:24; John 3:18).
5. Every person is either holy and set apart (1st.Corinthians 1:2) or unclean and filthy (Revelation 22:11)
6. All men are either children of GOD or children of the Devil (Galatians 4:6; John 8:44; 1st.John 3:10)
7. Each individual is either saved or unsaved (1st.Corinthians 1:18)
8. Everybody is either free or enslaved (John 8:32-36).
9. The choice could not be clearer: believe or perish (John 3:16), repent or perish (Luke 13:3,5)
The minority is on the narrow road that leads to life; the majority is on the broad road that leads to destruction (Matthew 7:13-14 pictured above).
10. Every person is either indwelt by the HOLY SPIRIT, or he does not belong to GOD at all (Romans 8:9)
11. Every sinner has either been quickened (made spiritually alive) in JESUS CHRIST or is still spiritually dead in sins (Ephesians 2:1-5)
12. Either the sinner has his sins forgiven, or he has his sins retained (Ephesians 1:7; John 20:23)
13. Every person either has and endless hope (Titus 1:2) or a hopeless end (Proverbs 11:7)
14. Every individual will have an eternal home prepared by GOD or will suffer in the place prepared for the Devil and his fallen angels (John 14:3; Matthew 25:41)
In which of these two camps are you ? The LORD invites all to be part of the glorious company of the redeemed (Revelation 22:17 pictured below). Dear Friend, do you know for sure in which group you stand ? Choose life ! GWZ
Your servant in CHRIST,
