CHOICES


Choose God over Everything;
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Choose Jesus over Satan;
Matthew 4:10 Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"

Choose Salvation over Damnation;
Hebrews 9:28 ...so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.

Choose Life over Death;
1 Job 5:12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Choose Forgiveness over Condemnation;
Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His Grace....

Choose Repentance over Sin;
Matt 3:2 "Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near."

Choose Grace over Works;
Ephesians 2:8 God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God.

Choose Heaven over Earth;
Micah 1:3 Look! The LORD is coming! He leaves His throne in Heaven and tramples the heights of the earth.

Choose Love over Hate;
Romans 13:10 Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God's law.

Choose Light over Dark;
John 8:12 Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”

Choose Heaven over Hell;
2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands.

Choose Peace over Troubles;
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Choose Faith over Hopelessness;
Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Choose Truth over Falsehoods;
John 14:6 Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

Choose Eternal Gifts over Temporary Treasures;
1 Peter 1:4 ...and we have a priceless inheritance--an inheritance that is kept in Heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay.

Choose God's Word over the Lies of the World;
1 John 2:14 I have written to you who are God's children because you know the Father. I have written to you who are mature in the faith because you know Christ, who existed from the beginning. I have written to you who are young in the faith because you are strong. God's word lives in your hearts, and you have won your battle with the evil one.



"You can make this choice by loving the LORD your God, obeying Him, and committing yourself firmly to Him. This is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the LORD, you will live long in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." 
(Deuteronomy 30:20)
