One end times puzzle which men STILL have trouble solving: what will they believe, the Word of God OR the words of man?
What will they follow: the Word of God OR the words of man?
What do they believe in: the Word of God OR the words of other men?
This was all illustrated by recent events.
Someone who professes a belief in Jesus Christ and who had spent most of their adult life physically working out recently confessed to being confronted with a “puzzle.”
“I do not really want to grow weaker. I may have use of physical strength or endurance in the future in order to help someone. But the Bible isn’t big on physical workouts.”
“For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. “
–1TIMOTHY 4:8
“So what can I do?”
While a believer is to maintain his body in good order and not purposely corrupt it,
“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”
–1CORINTHIANS 6:19
he is to rely on God for his needs.
IF, at some point in the future, physical strength and endurance are truly needed, such things will be provided by God Almighty.
“Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
–Isaiah 40:30-31
This is just one more end times choice man will make: to follow the Word of God or the words of man.
Tragically, most men forsake the Word of God in favor of the wisdom of man.
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
–Proverbs 14:12
DOES the reader believe he has to “make his own way” or no way will exist for him?
DOES the reader spend his free time planning what he will do in case of future emergencies and calamities?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
DOES the reader believe he is saved?

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“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, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 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:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
