One Choice Redux


I sit amazed.

With one choice, Adam and Eve broke the intimate relationship between God and man.

God had created a perfect world for them to live in. He gave them all they needed for full and eternal life. Everything.
And Choice.

There were a million choices they could have made that would have kept the intimate relationship with God intact.
There was only one choice that could break it.

That one choice was made.  The relationship changed.

Fast forward several thousand years.

Here we sit on the edge of 2014.

We have millions of choices to make in this life and world.

The relationship between God and man is still disconnected... and yet.. like Adam, there is one choice that changes everything.

We sit here like Adam did, with the ability to make a choice to completely change our relationship with the Loving God.

Because of God's work and sacrifice and payment of our sins through the birth, life and death of Jesus, we have a choice.

Choosing to accept Jesus - God's free gift of forgiveness, healing and love.

And for me:

That one choice was made. The relationship changed :-) Praise God !!

I pray you realize you are faced with that same one-most-important-question-in-life.

And you make it.
FREEDOM !!

  6. Jordan, first of all, great message and blog! Praying you find a great following and connection to what you share. With that said, might I recommend that you try and remove any "Christian jargon" that might not easily be understood from those not familiar with it... Those barriers are easy to remove to help those who have yet to understand the message. :)
