Choices

Every day is a choice we make. Do we follow Christ or do we follow the world and its ways? What choice did you make today? What choice will you make tomorrow? Every morning when we put our feet on the floor we have the freewill to live a life of sin, breaking Christ's heart, or we can live a life for Him. Surrender, Scripture, and the Spirit gets us disgusted with the sin, through the darkness of the world, and moves us on towards Christ. Remember every temptation is a choice- will you fall to sin or stand with Him? Choose Christ, surrender to the Spirit, cast off all sin that entangles you, and remember His redemption, love, and forgiveness. Jesus is there with open arms so run to Him instead of that sin and that temptation. Make the choice that will save you in more ways than one.

1. We are separated from God.

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

Isaiah 55:9

Can anyone hide himself in secret places, So I shall not see him?" says the Lord; "Do I not fill heaven and earth?" says the Lord.Jeremiah 23:24

2. Our sins separate us from God

But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear. Isaiah 59:2

"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one... For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God"
Romans 3:10,23.

3. Our sin brings Judgment and Death

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned

Romans 5:12

"Behold, all souls are Mine; The soul of the father As well as the soul of the son is Mine; The soul who sins shall die. Ezekiel 18:4

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23

4. Jesus Christ came to pay for our sins

"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. John 3:16

5. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

6. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

Isaiah 53:5-6

5. Those who receive Jesus are forgiven of sin

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.Romans 6:23

"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word (Jesus) and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. John 5:24

6. We must choose to accept Jesus Christ

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" Romans 10:13

How does someone accept Jesus as Savior?

A simple sincere prayer, with a willing heart is all that is required.

"Dear Lord, I know that I am a sinner and cannot save myself. Right now I turn from my sin and accept You alone for my salvation. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus Name, Amen."
