The Choice!

We all have a choices to make in life and some are very difficult to make. Where will you go to school, who will you marry, the list is endless. As tough as these seem, there is one choice that will affect you not only in this life, but in the life to come. Where will you spend eternity? This is a choice that no one can make for you because it's your choice.

God tells us that He loved us so much that He gave His only begotten Son to die for our sins and now we can have forgiveness of sins. Jesus didn't have to come to earth to die in our place, but because of His great love for us, He chose to come. Now you and I have a choice to make. Will we accept that free gift from Him or will we let our pride get in the way and we refuse the gift? There will be consequences if you refuse Him and your name won't be written in the Book of Life. You might ask, "What is so bad about that"?
Revelation; 20:15
(And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.)

The other choice you can make is to accept Jesus as your Savior and have eternal life in Heaven with Him. Before a person comes to Jesus, they think their life is good just the way it is. They think a Christian can't have any fun or joy in their life, but that is just the opposite of how it is. When you become a child of God, you have more peace and joy than those who don't have God. You have the freedom from sin that you never had before and that in itself bring joy. The most important thing you have is forgiveness of sins. Without this, your doomed to spend eternity separated from God in hell. Our few years down here don't even scratch the surface of eternity.

John; 3:16
(For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.)
Remember, God loves you so much that He is offering this free gift of life. All you have to do is say yes to Jesus and the gift is yours.

God Bless You!
