Only two choices! Revised part 2




Only two choices...
** A fact of life - " If you keep doing the same wrong, stupid things - nothing in your life will ever change for the better! "

Where will you spend Eternity?

There are only two choices which you can make in this earthly existence!

Either choose the Good as outlined in Philippians below or follow the world where evil prevails!  



    

 The former is possible once you come to realize that the world is not your friend and God has a plan for you if you choose to accept!  The key part is to repent 


 Otherwise you must be judged for the short coming in your life 
{BTW:  we all must do this as only Jesus Christ alone lived a perfect sinless life} 

Once you can come to seek, and accept the free will Grace of the 
" Redemption " {which is the most important part of our chance for salvation}
then you future will change and the " Outer darkness" will not become your eternity! 

  ==========================================

Now since many of you are not aware or have attempted to seek the face of God in your life this seems like a difficult position to believe...  But I can assure you it is the absolute way things will end for you if you do not change {repent} and come to accept Jesus as your Savior!

Our Heavenly Father has set certain Holy Principles into effect which determine who, what, where and when we can enter His Holy presence in heaven! 

This is where you must come to seek, learn, and then hopefully accept them into your life!   We will continue to post these and \ or post references to help you! 

  ==========================================

1. To feel or express sincere regret or remorse about one's wrongdoing or sin.

==========================================

The former is possible once you come to realize that the world is not your friend and God has a plan for you if you choose to accept! The key part is to repent:

--------------------------------------------

Otherwise you (we) must be judged for the short coming in your life - because of the sin that we have committed!

{BTW: we all must do this since only Jesus Christ lived an earthly sinless life}

Once you can come to seek, and accept the free will Grace for the " Redemption " {which is the most important part of our chance for salvation} then you future will change and the " Outer darkness" will not be your eternity!

==========================================

Now since many of you are not aware of the Redemption thru Christ or have never attempted to seek the face of God in your life - this seems like a difficult position to believe... But I can assure you it is the absolute only way otherwise things will end badly for you if you do not change {repent} and come to accept Jesus as your Savior!

Our Heavenly Father has set certain Holy Principles into effect which determine who, what, where and when we can enter His Holy presence in heaven!

Why? 


Because Our Heavenly Father does not nor will live or have sin in His presence! Period!

This is where you must come to seek, learn, and then hopefully accept them into your life!

*** What Is Sin?

- The Big Question

We live in a culture where the concept of sin has become entangled in legalistic arguments over right and wrong. When many of us consider "What is sin?"

We have come to think of violations of the Ten Commandments. Even then, we tend to think of murder and adultery as "major" sins compared with lying, cursing, or idolatry. Not so - any sin is not acceptable to God!

The truth is that sin, as defined in the original translations of the Bible, means "to miss the mark.
" The mark, in this case, is the standard of perfection established by God and evidenced by Jesus. Viewed in that light, it is clear that we are all sinners.

The Apostle Paul says in Romans 3:23: "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." {So true - everyone of us}

In light of this, it does no good to compare ourselves to others. We cannot escape our failure to be righteous in our own strength. Because by comparing yourself to someone else - because what good will you be as the best sinner in Hell! So stop comparing yourself to others they missed the make too...

This is by God's design, because only when we understand our weakness will we consider relying on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus.

What Is Sin - A Biblical Perspective

Sin is mentioned hundreds of times in the Bible, starting with the "original" sin when Adam and Eve ate of the tree of knowledge. Often it seems as if sin is simply the violation of any of God's laws, including the Ten Commandments.

Paul, however, puts this in perspective in Romans 3:20, when he says, "Therefore no one will be declared righteous in His sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin."

God wanted us to recognize our sins. Even those who have not murdered or committed adultery will find themselves convicted of lying, or of worshiping false idols like wealth or power ahead of God.
{Which is like many things in the world today...}

Tragically, sin in any amount will distance us from God.

"Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear," says Isaiah 59:1-2.
"But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear."

We must resist the temptation to act as if we are righteous, especially by leaning on our good works.

"If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives" (1 John 1:8-10).

What Is Sin - A Call to Repentance
The good news in all of this is that, once we recognize ourselves as sinners, we need only to repent and embrace Jesus to be forgiven. Jesus can forgive us because he died and rose again three days later in victory over sin and death.

The Apostle Paul refers to this process of recognizing sin and being responsible for it as "godly sorrow."

"Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death," Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 7:10-11.

"See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter."
