The Choice Is Yours


People have always struggled with this age-old question: what is at the bottom of our troubles? No matter how hard we try, education and money never seem to erase our troubles. Instead, they seem to increase our awareness of them. The poorest as well as the richest are affected.
An inner voice keeps telling us something is missing. We feel "out of tune" with the Almighty God to whom we are accountable.


 THE REAL CAUSE
 Our troubles are only symptoms. The real cause is sin, or rebellion against Gods will. Self-will rises up against God and His sovereign rights over us. Sin in the heart works itself out in the life in different degrees and ways; but the results are the same - wrong doing because of wrong choosing. Sin not only offends God, but it also harms the sinner: "He who sins........wrongs his own soul (proverbs 8:36). We are warned that " whatever a man shows, that he also reaps" (Galathians 6:7).
The effects of sin are sure, both here and in the hereafter.

 DEATH ISN'T THE CURE
Many would like to think that all their troubles ends when they dies; but death is no cure for sin, nor does it end the misery of sinner. According to revelation 21:8, all unrepentant sinners" shall have have their part in lake which burns with fire and brimstone which is the second death." We know men suffer now because of sin. But consider what sin will mean in the hereafter, when all this world's interests, excitement, and illusions are over, and the unrepentant soul experiences thru dread reality of God's Judgement for sin! We cannot save urselves - our soul's enemy is too strong for us. There is no remedy for sin in political changes, environmental changes or scientific advances. Codes of honor or ethics don't work either.

 THE ONLY CURE
Only the one whom we have sinned against can save us from the burden and penalty of our sin: "nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). Only the death of Jesus Christ could pay the overwhelming debt of my sin and your sin and our sins generally and secure for us divine forgiveness: " the blood of Jesus Christ His son cleanses us from all sins. Christ is eager to save you: " the son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10). " i have come that they may have life , and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).

THE CHOICE IS YOURS AND YOURS ALONE
Do you want to be free from the guilt and power of sin? Then come to the Lord Jesus now and confess your sins to Him, believing that He suffered and died to take them away. He promised, "The one who come to me I will by no means cast out" (John 6:37). Won't you come to Him right now?
