The Choice of Life

As a born again believer in Jesus Christ, you are eternally forgiven and made perfect in His death. Rom 5:19 For just as through one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. Rom 8:1 Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus, Rom 6:11 so, you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Rom 6:22 but now, since you have been liberated from sin and become enslaved to God, you have your fruit, which results in sanctification--and the end is eternal life!

Prior to your salvation experience, you were born in sin and had no other choice but to serve Satan.

After salvation, each choice ( Romans 6:12 & 14 ) that you make is then either a good choice that brings honor and glory to God, or a bad choice that puts you back into servitude to Satan.

No Man Can Serve Two Masters. Matt. 6: 24

Obedience.

In your life, you are prompted by The Holy Spirit of God to move according to His guidance. When you defy Him and make your own choice, you have transgressed against Jesus Christ and abused the grace and liberty that He died for. For He has said, 1Co 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is faithful and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape, so that you are able to bear it.

But now,

You have damaged your fellowship with Him. Rom 8:8 - 9 & 14 those whose lives are in the flesh are unable to please God. …All those led by God's Spirit are God's sons.

So,

Repentance and confession follows faith to restore fellowship with God.

 Repentance Brings Restoration.

Without this confession and repentance, you are a useless creature. You cannot be used by God as He wants to use you. You start to pretend that everything is o k between you and God. You become sad, defeated, and unfruitful.

Don’t Hide like Adam!

Don’t try to hide your transgressions from God. Live your life like an open book. God sees all anyway. Hiding sin is bondage to evil. Jesus is solid light. There are no dark corners to hide in.

1John 1:7 - 10 But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.  If we say, "We have no sin," we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  If we say, "We have not sinned," we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.  

John 3:20 for everyone who practices wicked things hates the light and avoids it, so that his deeds may not be exposed.

      And, a Word to the church: Rev 3:20  Listen! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and sup with him, and he with Me.

Choose Life And Serve God.
