In Theory: It begins with each of us

March 26, 2009
(Page 3 of 3)

Today people feel that they have no need for God and could live their own lives and ways and desires. But we know that Jesus said you are either for me or against me. You can’t have it both ways. You are either a lover of God or his enemy. If Jesus comes back for his church and you are in a state of backsliding, you are in a dangerous place. Jesus said he will vomit you out of his mouth. We need today to be a sold out for Christ like he was for us over 2,000 years ago. Come to him with repentance and reverence and holiness. Ask Jesus to cleanse and wash with his blood and spirit and have that personal relationship with him.

The only way people could come back to church is by the quickening of the Holy Spirit convicting their lives, to ask Jesus to come and live in their hearts and become new creations in him. But we have to be willing. We are not puppets on strings, and we all have a free will. The choice is ours to make.
