In the beginning, man was created by God and placed in a garden. Then, God gave an instruction that man should not eat of the tree of the knowledge of doom (Gen 31). Unfortunately, the serpent lured Eve to eat the fruit and she also gave it to Adam and he ate. As a result, sin, suffering and death came upon man (I Tim 2:14).
Adam was not deceive but because he chose to eat the fruit and he disobeyed God. Adam's choice affected mankind negatively. Therefore man was doomed.
Another person made a wonderful choice to die for the sins of Adam and everybody on earth (Isa 53, John 10:15-17). Jesus Christ gave his life for our salvation and in Christ we find forgiveness, mercy and grace to be reconciled back to the Father (Col 1:20-21). Jesus choice affected man positively, therefore man found God grace for genuine salvation.
Dear reader, will you obey and serve the serpent called sin who brought death to man OR will you obey Jesus Christ who suffered and died to reconciled us back to God? The choice is yours.
As it was in the garden of Eden, the world of sin is calling on you every time and every day. It says: "Come and eat my fruit of iniquity is very alluring, tasty and sweet". The serpent of sin is calling on you to eat from the trees of lies, disobedience, grumbling, complaining, murder, kidnapping, fraud, covetousness, rebellion, stubbornness, abortion, gossip, deception, premarital sex, fleshy lust, greed, fornication, hatred, adultery, pride, witchcraft, idolatry, immorality, disobedience, fighting, drunkenness etc. While Jesus Christ, the man who died for your sin is calling you to a life of salvation, holiness and righteousness. But who will you obey?, the choice is your (Rom 1:32).
LET LOOK AT WAYS OF COMMITING SIN
- When your sinful friends invite you to join them in dirty fun and games, sinful addictions, clubbing, drunkenness, drugs, gambling, partying, covetousness, craftiness and womanizing; while Jesus Christ is calling you to a life of repentance, soul winning, prayer & intercession. Who will you obey? The choice is yours (Gal 5:22-26).
- When your colleagues at work tell you to lie, steal and join them in cheating, illegal deals, armed robbery and fraudulent actives; while Jesus Christ is calling you to a life of faithfulness, restitution, truth, honesty and sincerity. Who will you obey? The choice is your (Exo 23:2, Psalm 1)
- When your environment is telling you to get a boyfriend/girlfriend/a date, have fun, crack sinful jokes, go dancing and clubbing, socialize (rap, hip-pop and R&B) and attend carnivals, celebrate valentine and kinds of sinful ceremonies; while Jesus Christ is calling you to attend prayer meetings, do evangelism, go for personal retreat and attend church convention. Who will you obey? The choice is yours (Gal 5:19-21).
- When your family members invite you for blood sacrifice, rituals, village festivals and idol worship; while God is calling you to separate your self from family idols and have fellowship with Christians brethren. Who will you obey? The choice is yours (Eph 5:11, II Cor 6:16, I John 5:21).
- When the world tells you to wear seductive clothes like Delilah and Jezebel, fix eyelashes, wear make-up, use ornaments (Earrings, rings, chains, bangles, beads, etc.) use wigs, hair extension and attachment, dress and have your private part exposed, wear bum shorts and trousers, mini-skirts, tight clothes etc. You have a choice to either dress and become a candidate of hell or refuse such destructive advice and dress Godly to fully cover your nakedness. Who will you choose to obey? Jesus fashion or worldly fashion.
Today, the choice is yours and you have to decide what you want and who you want to obey. But a time is coming when you will reap the consequences of your choices, whether good or bad. if you choose to obey God, you will receive eternal life, but if not, you will receive eternal death and there will be no time for repentance (john 3:16). The power to choose has been given unto you and Jesus Christ is expecting you to choose wisely and choose him (Deu 30:19, Josh 24:15).
If you have been making bad and sinful choices, it is never too late to make a better choices now. The choice to totally give your life to Christ, follow Him and obey Him is still much possible. From today, you can choose to be pure and present yourself as a holy and living sacrifice to our Lord and saviors Jesus Christ and God our Father for the rest of your life. The choice is yours.
So if you have made the choice to follow Jesus Christ, repent and confess your sins, ask the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive and have mercy on you. Then pray to the Lord to purify you with his blood and reconcile you back to the Father. Try to guard and maintain your salvation. Locate a Bible-believing church where you can learn the truth about true holiness and righteousness of God till the end (Eph4:24).
Remain in the Love of God and live a rupturable life till death or second coming of Christ Jesus our savior and finally make it into the Kingdom of God.
