Lets reason together saith the Lord;
People such as Moses, Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, Elijah, Noah,
King David, Samson, Mary mother of Jesus, Rahab, Ruth, Esther, Samuel, Billy
Graham, DL Moody, George Washington, Lincoln, John Adams, Pascal, William
Bradford, plus the thousands upon thousands who came to America for religious freedom, Many of the founders of this nation in 1776
who fought the revolutionary war of independence – all the prophets of old who
gave their lives proclaiming God’s message – apostle Paul who wrote much of the
new testament etc. All these men &
women lived lives for Jesus and knew the value of a relationship with their Creator.
You have to ask yourself one question. WHY?
Anyone who doesn’t take the name of Jesus on their lips is
condemned already regardless of how good or bad you may think they are. Thus there are only two major categories of
people – born again and lost (read gospel of John chapter 3 and 1st John
chapter 5, & Romans chapter 2) Yes I understand there are many great names in history who did not believe in God but they made their choice - as long as you're still alive you have the opportunity to choose God, but be careful not to wait too long - none of us are guaranteed another day. You may say don't try to scare me -- well the truth is the truth whether any of us believe it or not.
Will you join the list of names above and accept Jesus
as they did or by default remain in the lost crowd. It’s your choice. The mother of all choices. You didn’t choose
to be born or what country you’d be born into or your parents or for a God to
exist but these things are what they are.
We must each deal with our reality and make a choice. We all have different circumstances but we
all have the same choice to make. Choose
wisely. Oh and there are many false Jesus' out there being preached - be sure to find the right one - He's the one spoken of in the Bible not those others made up out of people's fertile imaginations of what they want him to be.
A wise man said once “I want to cover as many bases in life
as best I can since there are so many things uncertain.” He realized that belief in God required faith but so does almost everything else in life – will my spouse be faithful, will my
children love me, should I trust a friend, is the water I’m drinking safe, will
I wake up if I go to sleep, will that chair support me when I sit down
etc.) So he said to himself what
logically will allow me to have the most victories in this life and the next if
there is one – he made this list: He
chose the path that guaranteed the best possibility of no regrets in this life
or after life:
Accept God’s Plan
of salvation: God does not exist:
1. Eternal life in heaven wonders beyond our imagination return to dust
Guarantee of persecution for Jesus
or
hell if other side is
correct whatever hell is
2. try to live
as good a life by Bible as I can with Jesus help No help but
May lose family
& friends but will gain different ones family and friends
3. May die for my faith We
all die anyway
4. Miss out on sinful fun stuff adultery,
get drunk,
STDs, porn, dishonor
parents, envy, hate, steal
Heart broken, drugs
Addictions, fights
5. If I’m wrong
and God doesn’t exist I’ve
Not really lost
anything I’ve lived a good life
And helped
others and loved my family etc & and
Am no worse off
than nonbeliever
If I’m a
nonbeliever
& I’m
wrong it’s a different story
and things are not the same as with
believer-
If I’m wrong and God really does
exist then I’ve missed out on eternal life
in heaven and those wonders untold and
not
only missed out but will be unhappy
and weeping and nashing of teeth forever
as Bible says in hell
6. Lastly if after I die as a believer I will know I was correct If a non believer is
Because I’ll be
conscious in God’s presence correct and
there is no God then we
No regrets
because I made the right choice Will Never know
because we
cease
to exist and return to dust and
are never resurrected as the Bible side
claims. On the other hand there is God
and this side is wrong then I will have
plenty of regrets.
So as you can see clearly there is a 100% chance of “no regrets”
when you choose God
when you choose God
But if you choose the "God does not exist" side then you odds are only 50/50
If you're correct we'll never know, but if God does exist then you've lost paradise
and will have many regrets for making the wrong choice.
Why risk it when you have nothing to lose and
everything to gain.
To thine own self be true
As a wise man
once said (Jim Elliot):
“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep
to gain what he can never lose”
