---A FREE CHOICE~~ Heaven or Hell?

----We don’t like to talk about Hell, do we? In intellectual circles the topic of Hell is regarded as primitive and foolish. It’s not logical. A loving God wouldn’t send people to Hell. So we dismiss it.

The doctrine of Hell, however, is not one developed by Paul, Peter, or John. It is taught primarily by Jesus himself. And to dismiss it is to dismiss the presence of a loving God and the privilege of a free choice. He leaves the choice to us. He invites us to love Him. He urges us to love Him. He came that we might love Him. To take that choice from each of us, for Him to force us to love Him, would be less than love.

-----God explains the benefits, outlines the promises, and articulates very clearly the consequences. And then, in the end, he leaves the choice to us!

---Grace for the Moment II/ML~~

-"Choose this day whom ye will serve. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord."--(Joshua 24:15B)
-[Jesus spoke more about Hell than He did about Heaven. Why? So that people would listen to Him. He does not send anyone to Hell. People choose that way.]

Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." --(JOHN 14:6) ~~
-------
---RECEIVE CHRIST TODAY~~
-As you have read this message, have you recognized that you have sinned against God? He calls you to turn away from sin and to receive Jesus Christ by faith as your Lord and Savior. You can do that right now, wherever you are. You'll begin a relationship with God, and He promises that you will be forgiven and will receive life--eternal and abundant. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." We all are sinners in need of a Savior. Please, invite Jesus into your heart today. Tomorrow may be too late. No one knows what the future holds, except Jesus. He is calling you now.

--START BY SIMPLY TALKING TO GOD.
You can pray a prayer like this:
"O God, I am a sinner. I'm sorry for my sin. I want to turn from my sin. Please forgive me. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son; I believe He died on the Cross for my sin and You raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward, forevermore. Lord, I put my trust in You and surrender my life to You. Please come into my life and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

--The Choice is Ours / Heaven or Hell ~

--REMEMBERED IN PRAYER ~~

--In the large African church, the pastor fell to his knees, praying to God. "Remember us!" The pastor pleaded, the crowd responded crying "Remember us Lord!" Watching this moment on YouTube, I was surprised that I shed tears too. The prayer was recorded months earlier. Yet I recalled childhood times when I heard our family's pastor make the same plea to God. "Remember us, Lord!"

Hearing that prayer as a child, I'd wrongly assumed that God sometimes forgets about us. But God is all-knowing He always sees us and He loves us beyond measure (Ephesians 3:17-19).
Even more, as we see in the word zaka, meaning "remember," when God "remembers us, He acts for us. Zaka also means to act on a person's; behalf. Thus, when God "remembered" Noah and "all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, " He then "sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded" (Genesis 8:1).

What a great plea of trust to ask God in prayer to remember us! He'll decide how He answers. We can pray knowing, however, that our humble request asks God to move.

--"Dear Heavenly Father, grow my understanding of Your remembrance of me. Then, where I need You to act, please help me to tell others of your great love."

-----HELL ~~

---Hell is truth seen too late.

--Hell is prepared for those who prepare for it by rejecting Christ.
--Every soul winner believes in hell.

Those trying to prove there is no hell usually have a reason for it.

If more hell was preached in the pulpit, there would be less hell in the community.

**People may laugh themselves into hell but never laugh themselves out. ~
