We claim that God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God. No doubt about this fact and there are numerous scriptures to back it up. This is not the focus of this article. The bible declares that God is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. God knows the end of a thing even right from the beginning. Jeremiah 29:11, declares; For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Which He had already predestined us and knows our ends right the beginning. He knew us even before we are fertilized to become an embryo (Jeremiah 1:5; Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations). If God knows the beginning from the end, why would he plant the tree of the knowledge of good and evil when He knew that Adam is likely to fail to the test? Why would he even put Adam in the Garden of Eden in the first place? Have you ever asked yourself those questions? I have wondered and pondered on these questions over many times.
This is the reason why I am writing this article. God is a God of choice. He clearly gave Adam the instructions; of all fruits of the trees you can eat but the tree of the knowledge of evil and good, you shall not eat lest you die. This is clear-cut as a crystal. He gave Adam choice either to obey and honor Him or not. There are repercussions and rewards though for both obeying and disobeying God. Eat and you shall die, don’t eat and you shall live.
God doesn’t need our worship, our time or money. He gave us the choice to willingly acknowledge Him as God, the creator of the universe and worship and honor Him. You have the choice to either worship Him or not, the decision is yours. If He’d needed our praise and worship, He would have as a matter of fact created us like “Zombies” and we will have no choice than worship Him. Just like the Israelites in Deuteronomy 28. He gave us two choices, do this and you shall live, do otherwise and you shall die. There are rewards for everything. If you expect blessings for obeying, don’t you think there will be curses for disobeying Him? For disobeying God, He drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden. He cursed them all including the serpent- satan (Genesis 3:24-19). The good news is that He promised a seed of the woman would bruise the head of the serpent. Who then is the Seed of the woman to bruise the head of the serpent? That’s Jesus Christ, He defeated satan when He died on the Cross of Calvary.
Likewise, Jesus came into the world, die for the sins of mankind in order to redeem us to the Father. It is a free gift but you need to tap into it by believing on Him. You have the decision when you must have heard about Jesus Christ either to open your heart to Him or shut it. It’s a choice you have to make. You can choose to accept Him or not but remember there are rewards for everything. What a man sow, so shall he reap. What are the rewards for accepting Jesus Christ? John 14:6 say, I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the father except through me. So, what are the benefits for accepting Jesus Christ? Apart from making heaven where you will never die, where there is no longer sorrow, you will also live a victorious life on earth, you will have peace of mind, you will live a happy life, a life worth living. Well, I don’t need to tell you the other side of the story, we all aware of it. Heaven and Hell is real. You will not make heaven if you don’t accept Him as your Lord and personal savior and do His wills. You won’t enjoy peace. The bible declares in John 14:27, Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. This is the peace that you wont even move an inch even if the whole world is coming down because the God is greater than anybody, anything. Therefore, the decision is yours; it is a choice you have to make. Life is full of choices. Choose wisely my brothers and sisters. God bless you as you read this!
