The word for today is - Choosing !

The word for today is - Choosing !

What do you choose to believe, the word from God, or the word from people in the world? There is a  battle between good and evil. You must make a choice. The key is in Proverbs 1:22-23,“ How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge. Turn at my rebuke; Surely I will pour out my spirit on you;  I will make my words known to you. Read  2 Timothy 1:8-13,Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day. Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.  Believing “what you don't know can't hurt you,”but "what you do know can". God loves humans so much that He became a human,(he send His one and only Son) that as a human.  He suffered and died to demonstrate how much He cares about us, and that He came back to life to demonstrate His power over death. The followers of Jesus Christ are taught that we don't get connected to God because we do good, but rather we do good because we are connected with God. Life works better God's way. It's far too dangerous not to choose Jesus Christ.  Better to make peace with God and avoid hell, than to avoid the issue and find yourself trapped in an eternal nightmare. The word from God  in John 14:5-6,Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Read 1 John 5:12,The Bible says, “The one who has the Son Jesus Christ has life, but the one who does not have the Son does not have life.” Also, read  John 3:16, “For God so loved the word that He gave His one and only Son Jesus Christ, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”Who do you choose ? If, the one and onlyTrue God of the universe? Then, Cry out (make a sound) I want to make the right choice. I want to choose You. Make Yourself real to me, I pray. Grant me wisdom and courage to choose correctly, because I want to live. Please make the right choice abundantly clear to me, and remove any obstacles that would keep me from choosing You.” Thank you God for your word. Amen !
