Have You Made This Decision?
“………But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15, NKJV
Free will; the freedom that a Sovereign God gave to mankind so that same mankind can choose his or her path in this life whether it be to accept God’s way for his or her life or to reject the same God and go in their own separate way.
Man’s free will can apparently defy the purposes of God for his life and man can choose to go against the will of God.
Even if the choice we make is not the one God would have made for us, His sovereignty is fulfilled in our making the choice. Mankind’s free will does not limit or remove the Sovereignty of God.
Obliviously some of mankind chooses to accept God as their creator and follow God while some of mankind chooses to reject God and decides to live their life apart from God.
The choice is left up to the individual. The choice is mine and the choice is yours as to who we will serve. It is a part of God’s love that is rarely thought about.
God loves us so much that He allowed His Son to die on the cross for our sins and that love is so great that He gave us “free choice” to receive or reject what Christ did for all of mankind on the cross.
He continues to love all of mankind regardless of what their choice concerning His love will be.
Be encouraged today that God gave you a choice about His Son and about your eternal soul. The choice is yours. Either way, God loves you!
