THE CHOICE

“SEE, I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU THIS DAY LIFE AND GOOD, AND DEATH AND EVIL” DUETERONOMY 30:15

“FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH; BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.” ROMANS 6:23

God has set before man a simple choice; seek Him and live or deny Him and die. God says, “you can do what I know will give you the best life possible and live eternally or you can choose to find your own way, suffer throughout this existence and be damned forever without relief.”

Such a simple truth that is central throughout the Word of God is so often neglected by the pulpiteers of today. Why; could it be that such a stark message does not assure a preacher’s popularity.

Men love to hear how good they are. They love the unconditional assurance of good life and Heaven, however who wants to hear about sin and death? Such preaching will never build bigger buildings or buy cars or new robes for that matter, but with men lost and dying, shouldn’t we be warning them of Hell before they find out all too late of it’s existence?

Preachers, we should be shouting from the rooftops, “Choose Life - Choose Christ!” Some of us preach as though we’re afraid of offending the devil himself. We have too often forgotten that the eternal soul of man is at stake!

Believer, Christ has called you also to “GO UNTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL”. The word “Gospel” means “Good News!” We hold the Good News that God has a better way and it leads to life eternal. Whom have you told lately? If you are afraid of turning them away from God; realize this, if they are not following Him, they have already turned away from Him. Are you afraid to speak the truth in love because they might go to a hotter Hell? Saved is saved and lost is lost and if one isn’t saved they are already lost!

Hear the Word of God; it applies to you and to everyone you meet, know and love; “SEE, I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU THIS DAY LIFE AND GOOD, AND DEATH AND EVIL” DUETERONOMY 30:15
