What you are -and- what you can be if you choose to be

You can do it! Today, you can choose. Make a life-changing choice.

Choose today to be someone very, very specific. Leave the willy-nilly behind! ^MerWeb I recommend this choice:

Be one who who is blessed throughout Eternity.
Isn’t that the best choice ever!?

Jesus blesses
those who
“continually observe”
the Word of God. ^{See: Luke 11:27-28}

Excerpt from: Be one who who is blessed throughout Eternity
THAT is God’s message to the world. His grace is limited, but it is super grand! What it is:

Simple. Free. Lasts forever.

The catch here? You don’t just: hear His message, say “Yes”, and walk away.

Jesus is saying: Salvation is not “a one and done thing”, in the sense of: We don’t just simply pray a prayer of confession and then walk away. That is not the message of Jesus. That is insincere. God sees through that and into your heart.

- What was that confession like? …^{If you made one.}
- Was your confession accepted by God…^{You think?}
- Have you always assumed Jesus accepted your confession?
- Could it be true that today only 6% of “Christians” are truly born again?…See what the stats show. Look inside your heart.

Choices lived-out
There are a bunch of choices we each can make. We know them. We can see the choices lived-out all around us.

The world is a curious place. It’s curious to me how that, no matter what type of human ^{-red or yellow, black or white; rich or poor} – the choices are the same for every one of us: Choose the good, or choose the bad.

These two types of choice are revealed in the Bible by God.

(1) We can: Choose to accept choices from the lists of sins, what He has declared as unacceptables. Bad choices are all around us – and we are drawn to love them. That makes them so common.

…Or…

(2) We can: Choose to follow Jesus, bowing to God Our Maker.

We can choose this. Or we can choose that. Choose from: The Sin List of Unacceptables before God. Or: Choose the better Way of Jesus and follow His Way.

You can be blessed by God – or not be blessed. Your choice.
You can be… if you choose to be.
“To be or not to be. That is the question.”
– Not as Shakespeare wrote it, but with Eternity’s values in view.
– For More, see: To be, or not to be – Wikipedia

We walk beside a thin red line. We can foot it to the left, or we can step it on over to the right of the line. We make choices every day, all day. Choice is ours to make…on this thin red line we walk.

Luke 11:27-28
“…blessed
(happy, favored by God)
are those
who hear the word of God
and
continually observe it.”

FOR MORE:

What have you become over time? If you so choose, you can be the one who is blessed throughout Eternity. It’s up to you.

Post Quote and references

We can choose this. Or we can choose that. Choose from: The Sin List of Unacceptables before God. Or: Choose The Better Way of Jesus and follow His Way.

God’s Sin List…Choose this.

Unacceptables…Choose this.

Being like Jesus…Choose that.

The Better Way brought by Jesus…Choose that.

Followance…Followance always comes after getting saved…Choose that.

Your Chance to Choose Excerpt: You can choose life, or you can choose death. Choose life under God, or choose life void totally of the graces of God our Creator. It´s your choice. Take it or leave it. But study the Bible before you stumble away from it and loose your chance to choose.

Discerning what is good Excerpt: Oh mortal one ^{Micah 6:8}
Life is complicated. So many choices to make. We can go good, or we can go bad. Bummer. Why isn’t it simpler?!

We can’t escape it ^{Hebrews 9:27 MSG}. Each of us is personally responsible before God our Maker to discern what is good, and what is bad. We can read the Bible so we discern aright ^{MerWeb: correctly}, distinguish right from wrong.

The Bible is the standard for Christian thought and practice. Not me. Not you.

Micah 6:8^NASHe has told you, mortal one,
what is good;
And what does
the Lord require of you

But to do justice,
to love ^{[a loyalty]}kindness,
And to walk ^{[b circumspectly]}humbly
with your God?

Choose to change your Eternity

Jesus brings us to Creator God…God Our Maker. Excerpt: The amazing grace of God brings us to God through Jesus. The Bible is very clear on this, telling us that not all roads lead to heaven. On the contrary, only Jesus saves.

When God is Explicit

God’s DNA is implanted in us through new birth

What being “saved” means Excerpt: Getting Saved by God Getting saved is absolutely necessary for each of us puny humans. Why? Because God is Holy, and we are not (Isaiah 53:6).

Ever thought on that? We are the opposite of holy. We are abjectly unholy. Vile when put to the Light.

Raise your hand if you you think you are (“holy”) sinless! –You’re deluded!

⁸If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude ourselves and the truth is not in us. [His word does not live in our hearts.] – 1 John 1:8 ^{of the}^{AMP version}

This is forgiveness

Are you a repentant sinner -or- “self-proclaimed” righteous?

This is Salvation in Christ

Salvation in Christ is beyond huge – It is super grand! What it is: Simple. Free. Lasts forever.

Simple. Free. Lasts forever.

Simple…God’s Simple Solution

Free…Are you still captive under God’s condemnation or freed from it – forever?

Lasts forever…Jesus can save your soul for all eternity

“I give them eternal life” -Jesus Excerpt: It was Jesus who said that. Talk about claiming divinity! How can a mere man control eternal life – even to the extreme point that He promised His followers life eternal? Not a chance. Those who deny the divinity of Jesus are so, so far off the path. They deny reality.

John 10:27-30
²⁷The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me. ²⁸And I give them eternal life, and they will never, ever [by any means] perish; and no one will ever snatch them out of My hand. ²⁹^[a]My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater and mightier than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. ³⁰I and the Father are One [in essence and nature].”
