A Time to Choose
Galatians 2:16
So we have
believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be accepted
by God because
of our faith in Christ and not because we have
obeyed the
law. For no one will ever be saved by obeying the law. (NLT)
No human being has the
power or ability to stand holy and blameless before the Most High, Holy God of
Creation. In order for anyone to stand holy and blameless before the throne of
the Living God, they must be holy as God is Holy. And the only way to be holy
in the eyes of God is through the holy covering of our Lord God and Savior,
Jesus Christ. We are born sinners and we will die sinners, and without the
blood of Jesus cleansing our sins we will suffer the sinner’s death. There is
no other Way for us to be holy, because our human nature is to sin first and
hope for the best. Without the Holy Spirit dwelling in us, sin controls our
lives. We cannot obey the Laws of God because we like to do what we feel like
doing. Many people do not submit to God because of their sin-filled pride.
Pride is the reason Lucifer, God's most powerful and beautiful angel, rebelled
against God and was cast out of Heaven and will end up in the eternal Lake of
Fire. It was the stubborn pride of Jewish leaders that led to the murder of the
Son of God. It is our stubborn pride gone unchecked, that is our ticket to
Hell.
But how blessed we are to
live in the Church Age, because our sins have been forgiven and our death
penalty canceled. When you embrace your
salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus, you have His perfect blood cleansing
your sins; His death as your own; and His robe of righteousness to keep you
holy. God created His Plan for man
before the foundation of the earth was laid. Unlike the waves of the sea and
weak human beings, God does not waver in His plans. God knows that it is impossible
for us to survive without His sovereign power. He knows how weak in our sin we
are and how much we need His lifesaving blood. God has given us fair warning
because He wants no one to perish. But
God's Plan is coming soon to completion and it's time to choose, if you have
not already done so. Don’t wait to make
your choice, dear friend—don’t let our Holy and Just God choose for you,
because if you do, you will not be pleased with the outcome.
A
Whisper of Hope
Choose Me, My
child…for I Am your only Hope. You
can choose Me or not, but know this; if you choose anything but Me, you
die. Let My death be yours and be
resurrected into a new eternal life with Me.
Romans 3:25
We are made
right with God when
we believe that
Jesus shed His blood,
sacrificing
His life for us. (NLT)
You must be holy
because I, the LORD
your God, am holy.
(Leviticus 19:2)
