“Chance” 

 Galatians 1:4-5

He died for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order

to rescue us from this evil world in which we live.  That is why

all glory belongs to God through all the ages of eternity.  Amen.   (NLT)

     For every breath we take in, we should breathe out in praise and thanksgiving, because without the Lord; our God, our Provider, and our Savior, there would be no hope for anything, least another chance.  Without the sacrificial death and resurrection of Christ Jesus, we would be hopelessly lost in the darkness, deemed as unforgivable, and condemned for eternity.  Without the sacrificial blood of Jesus there would be no atonement for our sins and we would all be hell bound.  God created both the angels and mankind with free wills and the intelligence to make choices.  God did this because He didn’t want the heavens and earth filled with mindless beings that He had to control and manipulate in order to have them love and obey Him.  And much like the angels who chose to disobey God and follow Satan, man too, made the same fatal error. But unlike the rebellious angels, God has offered us complete forgiveness, and given us another chance to change our rebellious ways so we can escape the eternal condemnation that was created for Satan and his fallen angels. 

     Because God loves man above all His creation and because He is an honorable and just God, He has provided the Way for us to regain our right standing before Him.  But once again, God does not force us to accept His gift of forgiveness and salvation; instead, He gives us the freedom to choose His Way or not—to receive the Crown of Life or eternal condemnation.  You can choose living with the Lord God, Jesus Christ, in the new Heavens and Earth or you can choose to be thrown into the Lake of Fire with Satan.  Either way, the choice is yours to make, my friend, because God will not choose for you while you are alive.  Time on this Earth is short and should not be wasted, because you never know what tomorrow will bring, or if there will even be a tomorrow.

                                                                  

                                        A Whisper of Hope

Take My hand, dear child…because there is no other way to escape the coming night.  When you choose to live in My Light, you will not only be saved, but you will find the peace to comfort your soul in any circumstance.  Remember child, this earthly life is but a moment.

Genesis 2:15-17

The LORD God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend

and care for it.  But the LORD God gave him this warning: “You

may freely eat any fruit in the garden except fruit from the tree of

the knowledge of good and evil.  If you eat of its fruit, you will surely die.”   (NLT)

     But I will call on God, and the LORD will rescue me.
