The Choice

The good choice and the right choice.

Many times we tend to vote for the good choice over the right choice. In case you don't know, good is now subjective to the object. I choose what’s good for me and you choose what’s good for you. We are OK so far your good doesn't tackle mine. Now, the fact that you my opinion about a matter is good to me doesn't necessarily mean it is right. The good can be individually determined, but the right isn't. We all make choices, and as the saying goes, your choices either make or mar you.

Listen to this, many times, we think that this world is culminated by the struggle of the opposites, good and bad, right and wrong. Nah! It is a struggle between good and right, bad and wrong, think about it.

Read carefully between the lines: How would you feel if you found out you have been running the race in the wrong direction? If you found out you have only considered the good and not the right? That you have misconceived the right thing? That what you thought was right was never right and you have declined the proposal of the right straight at his face?

This is it, everyone knows that man is in a state of fallen-ness and absolute separation from God and we all are seeking for ways to please and get close to Him to secure our after-life. The question is: How would you feel if at the end you found out that you have only succeeded in running away from the person you have been trying to get close to? What an irony!  What if you found out that you have boldly said a NO! To the God you have always wanted to know?

“John1:11-He came to His own and His own did not receive Him.” The truth is staring right at you and you are staring back at it, you'd either choose to accept or reject, you either choose to get closer to him or move farther from Him.

“John3:16-18-For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His son to condemn the world but that the world may be saved through Him. Whosoever believes in Him is not condemned but whosoever does not believe in Him is condemned already because he has not believed in the only son of God.”

This is the gospel that saves. Believe and be saved.

God bless you.
