We must decide!

What would drive someone who’s in their right mind to make a well thought out, eyes wide open decision that would condemn them to an eternity (literally never-ending) of torment and regret?

The Bible lays out an eternally hopeful truth for all of us to consider, as it relates to what will happen after we take our final breath on this earth.

Look at what Jesus says here in John 3:18,

“Whoever believes and has decided to trust in Him is not judged; but the one who does not believe is judged already, because he has not believed and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

Those who reject Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord, have been deceived by Satan, and have fallen for his lies.

Jesus goes on to say in 3:19,

“This is the judgment: the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.”

When we come to the realization that God desires all of us to be saved, yet He leaves that incredibly consequential decision up to us to make … wouldn’t it make sense that we would think long and hard about which way we’re heading?

Jesus further says in 3:20-21,

“For every wrongdoer hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his activities will be exposed and condemned. But whoever practices truth comes to the Light, so that his works may be plainly shown to be what they are—accomplished in God.”

May our light shine (by the power of His Spirit) for those who are lost in the this broken world around us who have yet to say “Yes” to Jesus.
