Do Not Make Your Heart A Stone.


We choose.
We make the choice.
No one can make the choice for us.
We all have to choose, there is no other option, none. You can't ignore the choice except at your own peril. Ignoring making the choice is in fact making the choice- the wrong choice.
We choose.

Before our Savior returns our choices will have been made. In fact they are made prior to His return. When in the heavenly sanctuary our Savior ends His intercession, when ALL is finished, when the cup is finally full, when the time God set has arrived, then we are all decided one way or another, the choice made.

God's or not God's.

We have been warned. We have been pleaded with. We have been shouted at loud and clear. We have had so many opportunities to know the truth, to accept the truth, to live the truth, to claim the hope our eternal hope- Jesus Christ our Savior.

Do not make your heart a stone.

Zec 7:11  But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. 
Zec 7:12  Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts. 

Mat 13:15  For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 

Rom 2:3  And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 
Rom 2:4  Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? 
Rom 2:5  But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 
Rom 2:6  Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 
Rom 2:7  To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 
Rom 2:8  But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 
Rom 2:9  Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 
Rom 2:10  But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 
Rom 2:11  For there is no respect of persons with God.

Psa_95:8  Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness

Psa_51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
