Repent and believe in the gospel

John 7:17

“If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.” 

2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is Long suffering to us-ward, “not willing that any should perish”, but that all should come to repentance.”

Someone wrote: “Predestination, free will, and the problem of evil (we have no free will, God is in control of our wills, God created evil, however evil will not last forever, once evil has served its job it will be done away with, the good it produces will last forever).” 

Blind Guides!!!

 

 

To come to repentance means you have to make a choice. You do have free will. And the rich young ruler has had free will to pick up his cross and to give everything to the poor. But he was comfortable in his riches of this life. People are massively deceived. They take scripture out of context because they are sold on the idea that in essence you can serve two masters and still get into the kingdom of God. That God is going to exercise universal salvation as everyone will be saved but that’s not what the Bible says. The Bible says that many will wake up to shame and damnation. It also tells us that the tars will be separated from the wheat at the end of the world as the angels will be instructed to do such. We have the free will to choose to repent. That means completely turn around from that way of sin. We have the free will to not take Gods name in vain. Sure if you live in a dictatorship country then you’re free will might not be free but you are still free in your spirit to choose the biblical Lord Jesus Christ. You are free to do good. God is merciful. God is a just God. Jesus already took care of evil when he overcame the world. John 3:16 But we have an adversary being the devil and his team of followers.

  

Many times in scripture Jesus the Messiah told people to repent or perish. You need free will to be able to obey. The word of God says the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom. You have the choice to steal, rob, murder and commit sins. But you also have the choice to seek God and to turn away from your own un-righteous lifestyle. To say you don’t have free will is a lie. Sure some people God has a will for them such as Abraham, Moses, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Elijah, and so on. But if we’re to assess all the atrocities or complexities of life it’s more in depth than one can imagine. See look what is written in revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”  Open the door. Christ is knocking.

 

Now I heard the story of the building that came down yesterday and I would ask people to pray.  

 

I wrote a note about that here.
