Trying hard is on me. Surrender is acknowledging God’s presence within my heart. If I could have done, I simply would have. That is the importance of miracles and the impossible for mortal men. They are not signs of God’s Power that we may believe or kinder faith, but the realization that without God there are many things beyond our abilities, treasure and time.
They want me to self help myself into eternity. It cannot be done, that is why I refrain from writing books that rephrase or repackage the Bible into some of my own best ideas for men to improve themselves in to heaven. I care not how long you believe the history of man extends, yet I do recognize that throughout this history regardless of length, we as men will always try every possible iteration of self help before entering God’s throne room in contrition seeking His Help. Is this the insanity that Einstein coined?
God made the World and all that is in it, even the destroyer. Therefore He is the only one with the Power, Position and Understanding to make the Rules, Laws and guidelines for everything within it. Playing by His rules although voluntary because He loves us enough to give us that choice, only provides one outcome based upon a single choice. We get to Choose God or Not. Recovering from the separation (Sin) that distances us from God is only done in positive affirmation of this choice.
We cannot save ourselves, which goes in saying that we cannot make our own provision or invite ourselves to Heaven. Only God determines our acceptance or acceptability and that is based solely upon that aforementioned choice. If you choose wrong you will be separated from God forever as penalty for making the wrong Choice. Equally just as inclusion in heaven is not within your power beyond making that Correct Choice escaping the judgment and assignment to hell is equally beyond our authority, power and imagination.
God knew we would mess up before He created us and time. Therefore the solution, the choice was also created before the universe began, providing us the hope and context for the possibility of escape. That escape was given us by Jesus as a sacrifice of His Perfect Life lived that we may be set free from sin to make that Choice to join Him in Eternity. We can tell ourselves another version, another construct, building our own house of cards or constructing a graven image of God, but it by definition leads to the same end.
Now to the joy that comes with loving a God who loved us so much that He planned before time began to provide a way of Escape for all men. It is perhaps of greater amazement that He would punish His perfect Son to achieve that objective. That’s Right, God punished Jesus on the Cross for our Sins. That is the only way we are set free by that sacrificial payment of a Perfect Lamb of God given upon the altar to appease God’s Fury and end the War between Him and Man.
So, our job now includes the discerning clarity to silence or avoid all other explanations: lies depicting alternate routes to heaven. See we are not alone here, there are influences that specifically possess power and authority to deceive the saints, leading them to make that eternal choice with faulty information. I cannot save myself. I cannot adopt myself, nor forgive myself for my sins against God and His Laws. Christianity is the only God Help Program, all others are self attempts to overcome or rewrite the immoveable truth of God’s Word.
I have been foolish but thankfully this truth is absolute in my thinking. There is no coming back from a departure from God’s Wonderful salvation. So, although there is a measure of time left for us to make the right choice and even time for us to repent of having gone astray/backsliding, the end of the respite is upon us. It is time for all men to make the choice and then time for all men having chosen sides to get about the work of support or resistance to God’s Coming Kingdom. That’s right if you choose something other than God your only hope is to try and void His inevitable return. That means you are contrary to ushering in God’s Rule and Reign for Eternity in the Person of the King of Kings the Lord Jesus Christ the King.
I am sorry that you have chosen the enemy or made the fateful mistake of sitting upon the fence and ending up having Christ mke the Choice for you, but I will not be joining you in the Lake of Fire. I will not weep at your passing as you make the free will decision to depart from and be separated from God eternally. I will however love you as I would want to be loved and tell you the Gospel Truth of Eternity to Come that you may join me forever, but the Choice has always been yours alone to make. Choose Wisely because there is no coming back once God says “Pencil’s Down”.
