LIFE or DEATH: Everyone Chooses!

Each of us has been given by God this natural life

For one purpose alone; To choose LIFE or Death;

Everything else in this natural life is insignificant by comparison.

LIFE, being that found in Christ Jesus; in God, alone;

That is Eternal LIFE, LIFE that lasts for all Eternity.

This is Christ Jesus living in and through us in the here and now,

As well as for all Eternity.

This LIFE begins with our responding to the still small voice of of God

Speaking to our heart and our saying yes to His voice by faith;

Receiving God's Christ, Jesus as our Savior, the only Savior;

Confessing with our mouth that Jesus is Lord,

And believing in our heart that God raised Him from the dead;

Applying the blood of Christ to our lives for the cleansing of our sin;

Being water baptized signifying the death and burial of our old self

And being resurrected into a new LIFE in Christ;

Being “Born Again” by the Spirit of God;

Waiting for and receiving our “Personal Day of Pentecost;”

Being immersed, baptized, in the Spirit of God;

Receiving the Anointing from the Anointed One, Christ Jesus

And continually drinking the Living Water from the Fountain of LIFE, 

Which is Christ Jesus.

Death on the other hand is the absence of the LIFE of Christ Jesus;

It is remaining in the condemned state of being

We were born into,

And then at the end of this natural life, spending Eternity in Hell.

God Almighty spoke to the Israelites:

Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you

Or beyond your reach.

It is not up in Heaven, so that you have to ask,

'Who will ascend into Heaven to get it and proclaim it to us

So we may obey it?'

No, the word is very near you;

It is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.

See, I set before you today LIFE and prosperity,

Death and destruction

For I command you today to love the Lord your God,

To walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, decrees and laws;

Then you will live and increase,

And the Lord your God will bless you in the land

You are entering to possess. (Deuteronomy 30:11-16)

This day I call Heaven and earth as witnesses against you

That I have set before you LIFE and Death, blessings and curses.

Now choose LIFE, so that you and your children may live

And that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice,

And hold fast to him.

For the Lord is your LIFE,

And he will give you many years in the land he swore to give

To your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (Deuteronomy 30:19-20)

Today, the God of Creation

Sets before every living person LIFE and Death;

LIFE and Death are set before every nation.

Every person and every nation chooses LIFE or Death.

Not to choose is as effective as to choose.

At the end of this brief life

God alone decides by His perfect knowledge who lives and who dies.

He alone knows the heart of every living person and every nation.

Those who choose LIFE choose Christ Jesus the only WAY to LIFE;

They choose to live in the Kingdom of God.

All others choose the kingdom of this world, Satan's kingdom,

And the Lake of Fire God has prepared for him.

My prayer is that all who read this message will choose LIFE.

This world in its present form is passing away; it is almost gone;

It is raging against God; rushing to oblivion!

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
