The Choice

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Josh 24:15)

Make the choice, God tells us.

“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” (Rev 3:15-16)

Don't ride the fence. Make a choice, God tells us.

“Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;” (Deut 11:16)

Serving our own desires has become our god. Bowing down and worshiping the things of this world has become our god.

As plain and simple as it can be…

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” (Ex 20:3)

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” (Deut 6:4-5)

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

We can’t ever say our Creator, the One true God, our eternal Savior didn’t tell us what He wanted, didn’t show us the path to salvation, didn’t give us everything we need to stand strong. We just have to make the choice…
