| David Jay Jordan's We have to Choose From the very beginning in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve, our ultimate parents were expected to choose right from wrong, they had to make decisions one way or the other. Mind you they made a dandy bad one to start, that opened their eyes not to goodness which they already knew but to the evil they didn't know. Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man (and woman) is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: So afterwards, we all by our heritage became sinners by birth, and we must also put forth the effort and now take also of the tree of life. We have to choose the Lord and choose to be clothed by the Lamb, and we have to choose the Messiah that died for our sins, or else we die in our sins. It couldn't get any simplier. No one else can do it for us, even the Lord can't do the choosing for us. 1John 5:11 And thiis is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. Therefore, we all have to ask to receive, there is no other way, life won't come to you unless you do the asking. You can't have salvation unless you ask the Messiah for it. For even He said Mathew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Mat 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Life is full of choices and we have to do the choosing and the asking, and the most important one on our journey through life is whether we want the Lord and want to follow Him. For as Joshua said to the children of israel before they entered into the promised land. Joshus 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. And we don't have all day or all life to decide as the prophet Elijah said on Mount Carmel. 1Kings 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? If the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, (the world, the devil) then follow him. We have to choose whether we want the Lord or not 2 Corintinians 6:2 For He saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation And the time is now, and only you can make that decision for you. You are divine because the Lord has divinely given you the divine right to choose and decide if you want HIM. You have to choose. Do you want Him or Not ? JESUS loves you Sincerely David and Joy Hope you have chosen Him, If you want more details about choosing Him SEE Salvation Mystery of Life Holy Spirit Davidjayjordan@yahoo.com |
