Believing in God is A Choice!!!


 
God Allows Us to Choose!!!  We can choose to believe in God and be saved or we can choose to go to Hell!!! 



If we did NOT have FREE WILL, then we would NOT have the freedom to choose whether we want to go to Heaven or Hell!!! 




God wants everyone to be saved!!!  He wants ALL of to go to Heaven and be with HIM for eternity!!!



2 Peter 3:9 (AMP)  The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people's conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance.

 


IT IS GOD’S WILL THAT ALL BE SAVED!!!  BUT WE CHOOSE!!!


John 6:35-39 (AMP)

       35
Jesus replied, I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never be hungry, and he who believes in and cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me will never thirst any more (at any time).

    36But [as] I told you, although you have seen Me, still you do not believe and trust and have faith.

    37All whom My Father gives (entrusts) to Me will come to Me; and the one who comes to Me I will most certainly not cast out [I will never, no never, reject one of them who comes to Me].

    38For I have come down from heaven not to do My own will and purpose but to do the will and purpose of Him Who sent Me.

    39And this is the will of Him Who sent Me, that I should not lose any of all that He has given Me, but that I should give new life and raise [them all] up at the last day.





Some have chosen NOT to believe the gospel!!!  Some have chosen NOT to believe or accept Jesus as the CHRIST!!!


Romans 10:16-18 (NKJV)


16 
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “
Lord, who has believed our report?”

17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed:  “Their sound has gone out to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world.”




We can choose to accept THE WORD of GOD, and believe it!!!  WE CAN CHOOSE TO BELIEVE AND ACCEPT GOD’S GIFT OF SALVATION!!!  AND WE CAN CHOOSE ETERNAL LIFE!!!



Romans 10:9-13 (NKJV)


that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”

12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.

13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
