Our Choices Matter

O. Our choices matter, and our choice to trust God, and put our faith in what Jesus did on the Cross to get us to heaven, is the most important choice that we will ever make.

P. (Acts 16:31 NIV) says, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.

Q. That is pretty simple, and I hope that if you have not made that choice that you will today. God has put before us life and death, heaven and hell, forgiveness and condemnation, and he has said, choose life.

R. And when we become a Christian, and choose to accept God’s salvation, our choices still matter, because even though we are assured that we will go to heaven, the choices that we make in life, are choices between life and death.

S. Existing doesn’t mean that we have life. We only really have life when we follow what God says is right because he knows what life is supposed to be. He created it!

T. And if we become a Christian, and we for some reason decide that we are not getting all that we should and that we are going to do it our own way and we start saying I,I,I,...then we are putting ourselves in the position to have life come crashing down on us, because we made wrong choices that we knew were wrong.

U. Will we still go to heaven, if we trust what Jesus did on the Cross and make bad choice in life? Yes! We will have life like it was meant to be on this side of heaven? No!

V. If we can trust God with whether or not we are in heaven or hell then surely we can trust his commands about the life that we live here.

W. Make the choice to trust god with salvation, and then keep making the choice to trust God with Life.
