CHOICES

    Throughout our lives we make choices.  With each choice come consequences that are tied to each decision.  There’s one choice that many people don’t like to think about.  It’s the question of eternity in relation to God.  Whether we like it or not we will need to make a choice regarding whether we will place our faith in an unseen God or not.  It’s not enough to simply believe in Him, for frankly, He didn’t give us that option. 
       Man has the tendency to compare themselves to others around them, especially when it comes to eternal issues.  Surely they must be bound for heaven for they are a good person; certainly better than Joe or Bill or Jane.  In Paul’s letter to the Romans he says we have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23).  That’s who we are to compare ourselves to, our Creator, not another created being. 
       God offers forgiveness for all our sins.  What He asks in return is for us to enter into a personal relationship with Him that will last for all eternity.  Without His forgiveness we will perish.  Christ is the bridge which reestablishes the relationship with God that was broken in the Garden with Adam & Eve. 

Where do you stand with God?
