You Choose

                                        1 John 5:13a
                      "These things have I written unto you that
                         believe on the name of the Son of God"

        How do you respond to good news?  Say, for example, that your friends arrive with a letter and a check made out in your name.  With hugs and cheers they explain that a rich relative has sent you a huge gift.  How do you respond?  You have two choices, you can disbelieve.  You may think "this is to good to be true," and trash the check.  Or you can believe enough to go to the bank, endorse the check, and receive the full benefit of the gift.  Your response depends on what you chose to believe.
        In the same way the "Good News" benefits those who accept it.  As 1 John 5:13 says, this message is "to you who may believe."  Now brothers and sisters in Christ I want to remind you of the "Gospel" (Good News) that has been preached and is being preached today.  If you have received and have taken you stand, by this same "Gospel of Jesus Christ" you are saved, you must hold firmly to the Word of God.  If you received and you believed, than you have chosen Jesus Christ, for there is no other way to the Father.  Therefore stand solid on your decision and keep the faith.  Amen!!
