" You Have NO Choice ! "

 

     In a free country you cannot be forced to choose any religion. You can go to any church you please or reject them all. There is no penalty.

     Actually, you have no such option. GOD has planned only one way of salvation, and everyone is required to accept it.

     "GOD commandeth all men everywhere to repent." (Acts 17:30)

     GOD cannot tolerate sin and so HE sent HIS only begotten SON, JESUS CHRIST, to die for man's sin. HE now requires that everyone believe in JESUS and receive HIS mercy and forgiveness in childlike faith.

     "He that believeth on the SON hath everlasting life; and he that believeth not the SON shall not see life, but the wrath of GOD abideth on him." (John 3:36)

     Of course, people reject and ridicule GOD's plan of salvation. They may say that there is no GOD, or that GOD will save everyone, or that sin isn't so bad, or that we are decent people, and our good deeds should make GOD mighty happy.

     Man is in no position to dictate to GOD. Those who reject GOD's way are not in some neutral position. By their unbelief they have cut themselves off from the greatest joys of this life and the life to come. They have brought pain and judgment on themselves.

     "Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden underfoot the SON of GOD . . . It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living GOD." (Hebrews 10:29,31)

     All these warnings are written in love. GOD wants all to be saved. Why, because HE loves the world, HE paid an infinite price to save us, and freely offers us the wonderful gifts of salvation and eternal life.

     "As I live, saith the LORD GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked (unsaved), but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways." (Ezekiel 33:11)

     "For GOD so loved the world, that HE gave HIS only begotten SON, that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

     "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, . . .For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that HE was buried, and that HE rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:" (1st.Corinthians 15:1-2a,3-4)

     The word GOSPEL simply means GOOD NEWS. JESUS said, "Repent ye, and believe the Gospel." (Mark 1:15) So HE urges all of us to turn from our sins and act on this good news ! Do it today !

     The Bible says that "the goodness of GOD leadeth thee to repentance" (Romans 2:4) Repentance is a turning to GOD from your sin. If you would be willing to turn to GOD in repentance and faith, pray this simple prayer:

LORD, I know that I am a sinner, and I believe YOU died and rose again for me. I am trusting YOU to forgive me. Come into my heart and save me. Help me to live for YOU always. In JESUS' name I pray, AMEN.

     GOD said in HIS WORD, "The LORD is not slack (slow) concerning HIS promise, as some men count slackness: but is longsuffering, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2nd.Peter 3:9) Who may the LORD be waiting for ? Could it be YOU ?

Your servant in CHRIST,

Julie
