Middle Ground
Middle ground is shifting in this image and there is still time to move to safety; would you retreat or move forward? You really can't make a choice without knowing what is behind you as you as you look at the road in front of you.
The picture of the road is a representative view of our reality today in a world of chaos. Is there any safe place? Physical reality = sound, sight, touch, smell, and taste.
As Christians we know life is eternal for us.
John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
John 12:24 Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.
25 He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
26 If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.
Those who are not Christian perish for eternity.
Matthew 25:41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:
Where is the middle ground? There is none, no middle ground!
Matthew 6:24 [ You Cannot Serve God and Riches ] “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Luke 16:13 “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
Joshua 24:15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
As humans we are all 'ONE HEARTBEAT' away from either of these destinations for eternity. Have we done all that we can for those we know who are lost?
About three weeks ago the Lord asked us to cry out for mercy and lift their names up before Him that they might be saved. (read more here)
Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
AMEN
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.
