Accept or reject! That is the question!! John 6:70
Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
Accept or Reject? That is the question! Yesterday I mentioned in John 6:70 where Jesus said, "I chose the twelve of you, but one is a devil." Why did he say that? Because he knew that one, Judas, was following Jesus for personal gain, not eternal gain.
Accept or Reject! We are of free will, I can drive the car I choose, a ford, chevy, dodge, mercedes, bmw, etc. I can live where I want, work where I want, and just plain ole do what I want, worship where I want or not worship. Then my question boils down to who or what am I living for?
Jesus called 12, eleven of who remained true to Him. One strayed, betrayed, and realizing what he had done killed himself. Where are you today? Accept or Reject - that really is the question. If you accept Jesus Christ as your saviour you are accepting life eternal; if you reject Jesus, essentially, you are as Judas, killing yourself and spending eternity in damnation.
As a young man I lived in the world 6 days a week, but was holy on Sunday. Was I living for Christ? The answer, of course, is not only NO, but hell no, as hell is where I was headed. As I grew, became older, Christ became my saviour. Has it made a difference! HEAVENS YES!! Do I still dabble in the world? Yes, because I have a sin nature; however, I ask forgiveness and get back in line and in step with Jesus.
As Peter said about following Christ: 'there is no other way.' My pray for you and me is that we follow Christ and not be pretenders; going to church for status, approval of others, business contacts, or what ever the motive may be. There are only 2 responses - accept or reject! Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
