Free Moral Agents

1 Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
John 3:16 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 that the world through Him might be saved.
John 6: 37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
Luke 13:3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”
We are free moral agents and God is a gentleman. God will not go against our self-will. God wants each of us to come to Him and except His salvation. But, He also tells us that if we do not repent that we will perish.
God gives each of us a choice.
In the Bible verses above we see that Man has no choice about coming into the world but after he is here and old enough to be responsible, he is held accountable for his salvation or damnation. Man has his own will to exercise in this matter.
It is God’s will that all men who will to be, shall be saved. Men are commanded to choose God. Men are to be cursed, if they do not choose God.
It is impossible to serve God and Satan at the same time.
Promises are given to men upon the basis of their choice.
In over 4000 Scriptures where, “choose” or “will” and other words expressing will power are used, not one suggests that God forces any of us to accept Him and do His will. Man’s relationship with God is entirely on a voluntary basis.
No man recognizing that endless decisions are necessary to daily life can deny the fact of free acts and conduct, for he knows he has freedom of action–moral action–concerning right and wrong, and he is responsible to God for his every act.
If one can deny these facts, he can deny his very existence and prove it on the same basis he tries to prove that he is not a free moral agent. That he is and that he is free to choose his own destiny and daily moral actions are facts known to sane beings.
If you have already given your heart to God, share the good news with others.
It is a commandment, a not if you want too. You must , Go Ye!
Mark 16:15 He (Jesus) said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
I see churches today who end their services without ever giving an altar call of salvation.
This is a shame, mostly when churches have services broadcast.
As disciples of Jesus we need to realized not everyone sitting in the pew is saved. And you never know when someone flipping through tv channels and FB maybe seeking answers. And that day just maybe the day they decide to give their heart to Jesus.
So today, I asked you, do you know Jesus as your personal savior?
Choosing God’s Road Will Make The Rough Spots Easier To Walk.
Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.”
Romans 2:12, “For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judge by the law.”
Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.”
Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin in death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 10: 8-13, 17, “But what does the scriptures say?’ The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whosoever believes in Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between the Jew and the Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
II Corinthians 5: 17, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold all things have become anew.”
II Corinthians 7:1, “Therefore having these promises beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in fear of God.”
If you have read the scriptures and you would like to ask Jesus to come into your heart, pray this prayer aloud with me.
Father God, I love you. The scriptures say with the heart I believe and with my mouth confession is made. Now, I repent of my sins and ask you to forgive me. Come into my heart right now and save me. I believe that you sent your Son Jesus, who died on the cross for me. His blood was shed for me, that I will now spend eternal life with you in Heaven. I believe that in three days Jesus arose from the dead to give me victory over my sins. I believe now that I am a new person, and all the things I did in the past is gone, to be remember no more. I thank you now for writing my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life. I thank you for saving my soul from the pits of hell. Now mold me into what you want me to be. In Jesus Name I Pray Amen and Amen
If you prayed this prayer, you are now a child of God. Hold fast to your Heavenly Father. Read your Bible everyday and pray.
