Subject: Now that we are here! Our destiny is set, predestined! Make your choice!
It is your choice! Believe Jesus is the Christ and the Son of the Almighty God!
A. Your destiny is set! Have your choice!
1. Jn 3:18 He that believes in him is not judged: he that believes not has been judged already,
because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. (ASV)
2. Jn 3:19 And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world,
and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. (ASV)
3. Jn 3:20 For every one that does evil hates the light,
and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved. (ASV)
4. Jn 3:36 He that believe on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obey not the Son shall not see life,
but the wrath of God abides on him.
5. Ac 17:24 "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and
does not live in temples built by hands.
6. Ac 17:25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything,
because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.
7. Ac 17:26 From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth;
and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
8. Ac 17:27 God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him,
though he is not far from each one of us.
9. Ac 17:28 `For in him we live and move and have our being.'
As some of your own poets have said, `We are his offspring.'
B. God’s way or no way! Make your choice!
1. Ac 4:12 And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven,
that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.
2. Ac 2:21 And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
3. Ac 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his name.
C. Are we to you ‘the smell of death or the fragrance of life’?! 2Cor.2:14-17
1. 2Cor 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always cause us to triumph in Christ,
and make manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place.
2. 2Co 2:15 For we are unto God a sweet savor of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish.
3. 2Co 2:16 To the one we are the savor of death unto death; and to the other the savor of life unto life.
And who is sufficient for these things?
4. 2Co 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity,
but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
5. Jn 3:18 He that believes in him is not judged: he that believes not has been judged already,
because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. (ASV)
D. Christ the corner stone or the stone that makes you fall?! Make your choice!
1. 1Pe 2:7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious.
But to those who do not believe, "The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone,"
2. 1Pe 2:8 and, "A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall."
They stumble because they disobey the message-- which is also what they were destined for.
3. 1Pe 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God,
that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
E. Conclusion: This is it! There will never be another way!
Believe Jesus is the Christ! Be in the church of Christ or else! Matt.24:35
May the Lord bless you and keep you always! Written January 17, 2020.
