Those who reject Jesus!

The saddest people on earth have to be those who have rejected Jesus. They have chosen to live a life void of God or chosen to put their faith in some "false god." Sadly, it will only be at the moment of death they will realize they have missed an everlasting relationship with the God that created them in His own image. A wasted life, but even sadder, a soul lost for eternity that Jesus gave HIS very life for.

However, it is no surprise that many people today reject Jesus. People have rejected Christ throughout the years. Even the men of His day rejected Him. When they were given the choice, a "poll was taken" amongst the people and they chose a common thief instead of the Lamb of God. It was the rejection of those of His day that led to our Lord's death on a cross.

Every day, I receive at least 1,000 emails of the 40,000 that we get daily from people who have rejected Jesus and telling me why. The top 3 reasons that people give for rejecting Christ are, 1) "I can't be a Christian because you are all hypocrites," 2) "the Bible is a book of fables written by men," 3) "a loving God would never condemn good people to hell."

First, I have done entire Devotionals on following THE MAN and not a man. YES, Christians are hypocrites because Christians are human. If you are basing your eternal soul, your faith, on a mere man you will be disappointed EVERY TIME!!!! ONLY Jesus lived this life perfectly, and it was only Jesus who died for your sins, which is why our faith is in HIM and not some man. A man will fail, but Jesus will never fail....NEVER!!!

Second, I challenge anyone who disputes the Bible to be the inspired and inerrant Word of God to go to your local Christian bookstore and get any of a number of books on that issue. The FACT IS, any credible research and time into trying to disprove this FACT will only show you that the Bible is truly God's inspired, inerrant Word, that represents absolute truth and is our final authority in all matters. It is supported by science, archaeology, and the real life experiences of millions and millions of people over the centuries that have found God's plan is the ONLY WAY to live this brief journey called life victoriously!

Third, while God is a "loving God," He is also a HOLY GOD! The Bible tells us that there are NO "good people" because we have all sinned and come short of God's glory. It is our sin that separates us from God. It is only because He IS a "loving God' that He made a universal plan of salvation for His fallen creation. IT IS AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE. By faith in His Son Jesus Christ we can be once again reconciled to God our Creator. However, God in His love, gave us the free will to choose to love Him or reject Him, otherwise we would be nothing more than preprogrammed robots.

I love you and care about you so much. I have one thing to say to those of you who read these words and reject Jesus. Have the guts to simply say "I reject HIM!!!!" Quit hiding behind weak arguments like it is the hypocrisy of Christians that keeps me from being a Christian, or the Bible is just a book written by men. Those are simply weak excuses to excuse YOUR unbelief and rejection of Christ!!!

I challenge you today. Do your homework and accept Him or reject Him on what YOU believe. If you make the choice to reject Him, simply say so. NO EXCUSES. NO BLAMING SOMEONE ELSE. SIMPLY SAY.."I REJECT HIM." The fact is, one day, each one of us will die. On that day, we will stand before God and give an account for our life. God is not going to be interested in your excuses. You either accept His free gift of everlasting life through His Son Jesus Christ, or you reject it. It is your choice, no one else's. God is not going to be interested in your excuses.

NOW...TODAY... is your opportunity to either accept Him or reject Him The Bible tells us, and our life experiences teach us that tomorrow is promised to none of us. This is the most important decision that you will make in this life. Choose today..accept HIM...or reject Him..but make no excuses either way!!!!! If you want to accept Christ into your heart and life, simply pray and ask God to open your hear to HIS TRUTH, and go to this link. www.liveprayer.com/bdy_salvatn.html . You will be in my prayers.

In His love and service, Your friend and brother in Christ, Bill Keller
