Choosing Sides

A big theme through out the Bible is how man has a choice. From the beginning God designed us with this innate gift. Eve chose to eat the fruit. Adam chose to follow her. I chose my wife. It was my choice to follow Christ. In the same way, when I sin, it is my choice.
Some may see decisions as something much larger than whether to wear blue or black pants. So what is a big decision? Buying a car, a home, having children? The decision to follow Jesus and God’s will is the single most important decision in everyone’s life.
The choice to follow Christ is what sets us apart. God could have made us to blindly follow Him without a will of our own. Imagine yourself receiving a reward. Everyone in attendance is forced to tell you that you are wonderful. Is that truly meaningful? By making the choice to follow Christ and become a servant of God, it brings glory and praise to Him. He wants us to choose.
Similar to Joshua’s challenge to the Israelites, we need to be challenged. We need to make the choice to live for God. I am challenging you today. Do you live for the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit or are you living for yourself?
