Our choice
Do we truly want to have the ability to choose? For in 2 Peter 1:3 it is written,
"seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence."
As Christians, the promises of God, the fellowship with Jesus, the supernatural strength is at our fingertips...the question is, why do we choose not to realize this truth. Are we so ignorant or do we lack faith, or are we unwilling to take upon the responsibility of taking up our cross and following the will that God has intended for our lives?
Only because of God's loving care, patience, grace and love am I still alive. Sometimes, I have felt like Jonah, I didn't see how awesome God was and His providence. I was blinded not to know the truth. I just pray that I never become complacent, even in little things. but sometimes, it's hard to be the fish against the current. But the reward is great. Our fellowship with Jesus should surpass all other rewards and blessings. What's the point of doing chirstian acts without Christ in our hearts.
k, i have to stop talking, too much isn't always good. I hope that you can put your comments so that together we can pursue Jesus and His awesome will for all of our lives'!!!
be blessed!

I think it is because, some people don't want to accept it. I have a cousin who is atheist, who once told me he didn't like the fact of worshipping,and he dosen't believe that there is anyone higher than him. Most people are just scared and don't want to accept the fact that there is a God, and they should follow him. Most just want to live their lives the way they want to and not the way God intended for them to, so they just don't accept him. That is just what I think.

John 3:18-21
18 “He who believes in 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. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
Pretty clear!
