The Choice

First I wanted to share the story from the Bible if you have never read it or heard about it..

Mark 10:17-27 NIV

As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”    “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.  You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’  ”    “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”   Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”    At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.   Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”    The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is  to enter the kingdom of God!  It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”    The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”   Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.

Okay, well first of all, the choice of the rich young ruler was pretty unfortunate. And I can only pray that if I was ever faced with that kind of decision with God's help and hopefully since I am aware of the consequences of my final choice I would choose correctly. I wanted to share another verse from the Bible that may have a positive effect on your decision about choosing Christ, if you haven't already. Or, if you have let this verse be a positive reminder for you and you can be excited about it! Because, you know that once you leave this world which is temporary you will be in eternal paradise!!!

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is unseen is eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18)
