The Choice

choice

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
–Matthew 6:33-34

Perhaps the MOST important thing to remember about the end times.

It is all about making one choice.

The choice?

Belief in God and the things of God (including God’s Word) OR something else.

And there are PLENTY of something elses which compete with God for the attention of end times man: the world, the things of the world, man and the schemes of man, Satan and Satan’s end times worldwide kingdom and Satan’s man of sin OR belief in one’s self.

Actually, what that ‘something else’ ends up being is NOT so very important–except to the one making excuses as to why he felt his wrong choice of ‘something else‘ was MORE important than the One-who-Created-All.

However, the choice remains as it always has been: a choice between God or ‘something else.’

As was pointed out almost a YEAR ago:

And choices have consequences–even if those consequences are not fully recognized initially.

One choice a person makes is whether to follow the Word of God–or whether to disregard God’s Word and to live as he best sees fit.  And–like most other choices in life–this choice has consequences.

AND, those consequences may not become apparent for YEARS–although the world works ceaselessly to convince the reader that this VERY important choice is really no choice at all.
—Choices

Still, for all of the importance of this singular choice, end times man doesn’t appear to attach much importance to the making that choice.

Because this topic is so IMPORTANT, it has been written about before in these pages.

And still–in spite of the number of previous warnings; in spite of the very clear words of God’s Word; in spite of the subject’s sheer importance–end times man very casually makes this decision.

And, just as important, end times man gets this ONE decision he has to make, mostly wrong.

OH, there are a FEW who place value on making this decision.

But modern man is so very BUSY.

And modern man is so very DECEIVED.

Lastly, modern man is so very CONVINCED that he knows best.

And so, end times man will CONTINUE to make this decision offhandedly; without much thought; without much research; without much preparation.

Hopefully, the reader will NOT wait until it is too late; hopefully, the reader will spend a few moments delving into the finer points of this choice.

This one choice–which is the SINGLE most important choice the reader will EVER make–which is so often treated as an afterthought.

HOW does the reader treat this choice?

“For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.”
–Romans 8:5

It is not YET too late: there is still a little time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

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
