THE VERDICT

"This is the verdict: Light has come into the world,  but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil." John 3:19

People are judged for their choices. They love darkness because they act according to darkness' evil ways. On the other hand, those who walk in the Light, behave exactly the opposite from those who walk in darkness.

LIGHT OF THE WORLD

"You are the light of the world..." Matthew 5:14

Light is energy. Those who are born of the Holy Spirit are the Divine energy in this world. Why? What's their purpose?
When Jesus was on Earth, he gave life to the dead, enlightened those who were in darkness and lifted up the fallen. Those who are born of God have a mission, which is to give the most of themselves in favor of rescuing those who are in the darkness.

READY TO FORGIVE

"Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear."          Isaiah 59:1

God's hand is not shortened to those who reach out for help and He is not deaf that He cannot hear those who call upon Him. He is always waiting with open arms, ready to forgive and attend to the cry of the afflicted. His mercy is infinite.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS

"I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live..." Deuteronomy 30:19

Heaven and Earth are witnesses of how God divinely gives mankind an opportunity to be redeemed from their sins and be born again. The rocks split after the sacrifice of the Son of God. No one there could have said that they didn't know. That’s why we've been given the free will to choose between life or eternal death.

ALL OR NOTHING

"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."  Luke 16:13

You must surrender your life to God 100%. Even if you leave out a mere .0001%, that small percentage will eventually try to serve another master.  With God it's all or nothing. Especially because the Holy Spirit isn't out-poured in quantities. He gives 100%. Therefore, if He gives 100% of Himself, He has the right to demand that we give 100% of ourselves.

CONFIDENCE

"For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: 'In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.' But you would not..."   Isaiah 30:15

When you turn away from evil, you move toward inner peace.  But our strength comes from the tranquility and confidence found in the Word of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. 

FRIEND OF THE WORLD

"Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God." James 4:4

Those who know the Road to salvation but are drawn to what this world has to offer, are by choice, distancing themselves away from God. Jesus gave one hundred percent of Himself in favor of us sinners; therefore, He requires us to surrender wholeheartedly to Him.
