THE SMART CHOICE

In life we have choices to make every day. The biggest choice is whether we choose Jesus/God over things of this world that are attractive and seemingly innocent. When we become chained to these things and ignore God’s desires for us, we have chosen our own desires over God’s desires, which is a sinful choice.

God wants His children to grow in their faith in Him…to do what He knows will cause that to happen. Such as:

• attend a good Bible-believing church
• spend time with Him in His Presence while reading the Bible and praying
• study the Bible with other believers
• fellowship with other believers by eating together and by just plain having a good time
• serve in some way in your church
• care about others by helping to meet their physical and emotional needs and being generous
• share the Gospel message of what Jesus did for mankind on the cross and His resurrection
• discipling those who decide that they want to put their trust in Jesus as their Savior by faith by helping them to grow in their faith

If we do the things that God desires of us, we won’t have time or the desire to allow ourselves to be chained to worldly things that will pass away and that have no eternal value, whatsoever. Doing Jesus’ will is the most fulfilling life a person can live. It is not only fulfilling, it is also joyful, peaceful and happy! What more do you want?! What more do you need?!

Now, if you’ve never really humbled yourself before Jesus and received His true Salvation through your faith in Him, if you do humble yourself, the Holy Spirit will help you to see your sins so you can confess them and repent and receive His forgiveness. This will eliminate your sin penalties forever so you can receive Eternal Life in Heaven with Jesus and other true believers.

If you think that your friends will be going to hell and you’d rather be with them, there will be no fellowship in hell. Everyone will be alone and there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth because it will be so terrible.

That is why you NEED Jesus! Humble yourself before Him today and receive His forgiveness. Jesus came down from Heaven to suffer for YOUR sins, so YOU won’t have to!!! That’s quite a free gift Jesus/God is offering you.
