Choose Life!
Life is full of choices. Some are made for you, the rest you make. You cannot choose to be born, but you can choose how to live. You are not free to select your DNA, but you can choose to pursue an MBA. The choices you make shape the life you will live.
We today still need to confront courageously the choice between life and death, blessing and cursing. Blessing is not automatic. It does not flow unbidden into a man's life. Blessing comes when we respond affirmatively to the Lord's call to live obediently.
Jesus warned people, "You can enter God's kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is board, and its gate is wide for the many who choose the easy way. But the gateway to Life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it" (Matthew 7:13-14). God still lays before us the options of trusting obedience and willful disobedience, and He outlines the results of the options:
Life eternal on one hand, perishing on the other.
God bestows upon man the ultimate privilege of choosing freely which way he will go. Of course, there would be no choice to make if God has not first chosen to reach out to us. So man's freedom to choose is a gift of grace. God chose to offer us life, then He chose to let us choose. Now the choice is ours! God offers the gift to eternal life to anyone who will repent and believe. God calls us to respond. If we obey His call, if we choose to go His way, we receive the gift. And it's the biggest gift ever offered to those who face the biggest choice ever made.
