Choose Life

Romans 3:23

23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 6:23

23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.


Yes we are all sinners and without Jesus we would have died without any redemption from God. Yet God showed compassion upon us by sending His Son Christ to give us a way out. As I travel I hear we have all sinned yes we do and then the next thing I hear is no one will get to heaven and that is a lie.

Enoch walked with God and went to heaven. Elijah the Prophet went to heaven. David the warrior, musician and King went also. Even the man who had little possessions died named Lazarus as the rich man also died and went to hell. There are many who went to heaven throughout the entire bible from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Yes and they did sin but the key is they didn't stay in this state.

Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Our good is like filthy rags unto God. Our good, good deeds don’t help us get into heaven. Heaven is not a points system where we earn and accumulate enough in our lifetime to achieve the goal of living in Heaven with God. No, no the way is through Christ and obey the teachings within the bible of living Christ-like and denying ourselves the pleasures of this world. We cannot be on a path to ruins and expect the luxury of life.

For then we become like the pigs who are unknowingly are given the better things in life and have trampled them under-foot.

Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Those who practice sin and know it is a sinful act will die and go to hell. Why for they chose not to change their behavior or habit.

The bible is our instruction manual for daily living and successful living in Christ. In the bible there are many, many examples of joy, love, deceit, anger, revenge and also teachings in them and great rewards.

We have a choice either choose life or death? Every decision we make have two roads to travel on and which one we will pick. We get to choose eternal damnation or eternal life.

One thing strikes me is this that we can live forever with God and live. Most people live for the moment, next week, next year but what about the future, what about living daily to get to heaven to live eternally with God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost?

Wow wouldn't that be phenomenal to live forever with God the one who created us. No more paying bills, not going to work on a job just to pay rent or feed the children. Think about it we live the righteousness of God and obey His word and we will be in place of comfort. No more murders and everyone coming together and playing with the animals who on earth were ferocious now will be kind and patient in heaven.

Choose life and live eternally with God, Jesus Christ, Holy Ghost, other men and women and the animals. Choose life for we gain more with Christ and lose out more when we don't.


I send blessings and peace unto my brothers and sisters in Christ.
