Subject: What happens when you refuse God? |
Bible Note: ok here goes. God does not need man and gets no glory from any man. Your free will is not accoring to God's will. None seek God. God does not need your permission to save you. He is not a gentleman. He is the living God who has elected his people from before the world began. Jesus did not make it possible for anyone to become saved. He SAVED his people and they hear his voice. His people know Jesus Christ did it all and we can do nothing except thank God for his mercy and grace. Man on the other hand hates to hear the truth and clings to a choice, an alter call a special prayer, a special day, ect. This is a heated topic and I only respond because you ask. If you have never heard or cannot hear this or want to cling to your choices you are free to do so. ONLY GOD can give his spirit to whomever he wants. I have been accused of pushing an agenda, but it is only thru Jesus Christ's mercy and Grace that ANYONE does experience the new birth. Please read Romans 3 verse 10 thru 12. Romans 9 verses 18 thru23 Ecclesastes 8 verse 8 Please do not argue this. Read acts 13 verse 48 There are many more verses but all the verses in the bible cannot open your eyes or save you or anyone else. Only Jesus Christ the Lord and Saviour can. In short man is opposed to God, dead in sins until God gives them life. Read Ephesians 1 verse 4 thru 9. I hope you hear and give all honor glory and praise to God thru our saviour. Now I will probly be admonished by some for this but you ask and I have to be faithful to my God. If anyone is offended by this so be it. In love Josef |
