TWO OPTIONS?

TWO OPTIONS?
Monday, July 22, 2013

John [MKJV] 3:3,16-18 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  . . . For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. 18 He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
 
  There are not two options so far as choose heaven or choose hell. Some may consider this an inconsequential theological point but I believe it is something that is very important for both the lost and saved to understand.

  To have two choices would be to be in the arrangement of having two elective positions before us.

  This is not how it is.

  To reject the only option God offers leaves one in the position of “condemned already” and upon death transiting to eternal separation from God.

  God spells it out plainly in His Word that every man is in the dreadful place of “condemned already” with before him the single option of repositioning through trusting Jesus Christ and gaining deliverance status; with His Holy Spirit within for remainder of time here and upon physical demise eternal presence with God.  EBB4
