"BORN OF GOD" DEVOTIONAL BOOK

Joshua 24:15b, "CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHOM YE WILL SERVE."

The Holy Spirit of God brings each of us to a place in ourlife where we realize God and eternity are real; and we must then make a choice of what we will do about our relationship with God. It is difficult to break old superstitions, religious traditions and doubt, but one can only receive Jesus Christ by faith.  The greatest choice you or I will ever make in this life is an eternity:  WITH OR WITHOUT JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR.

It is truly a choice of ETERNAL LIFE or ETERNAL DEATH.

In studying God's Word, we find that sin produces death and all flesh will die because of carnal sin.  For those who will not believe, there will also be death to the soul, which is eternal separation from God and eternal punishment in hell.

The following scriptures show us that sin produces death:

Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Genesis 2:17, "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:  for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

Romans 5:12, Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."

Ezekiel 18:4c, 20a, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die."

Revelation 20:14-15, "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.  This is the second death.  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."  This verse speaks of the dreadful eternity of the lost soul.  Whether we consider physical sin which brings forth physical death to the body, or spiritual sin which brings forth spiritual death to the soul, God says:  "the wages of sin is death."

Thank God there is another choice, and that is LIFE!

John 3:14-16, "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:  that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 17:3, "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."

Galatians 6:8, "For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."

John 3:17-18, "For God sent not his Son into the world  to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.  He that believeth on him is not condemned:  but he that believeth not is condemned already, BECAUSE HE HATH NOT BELIEVED in the name of  the only begotten Son of God.

Conclusion:  IT IS OUR CHOICE:  LIFE or DEATH, HEAVEN or HELL, CHRIST or SATAN!
