Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. - Psalm 146:3
You do have a choice!
You can repent from sin, turn towards Christ for forgiveness and walk in newness of life by way of His incredible gift of salvation.
3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. - 1 Timothy 2:3-6
Your other choice is to follow pagan idols and false religions to your eternal destruction.
We will not kill you if you deny the power of Christ.
We do not demand you follow Him but pray you will see the light that comes from serving a risen Savior.
to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.' - Acts 26:18
Now as with all choices, their will be a cost.
God has called you to be holy as He is holy.
14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance,
15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, - 1 Peter 1:14-15
Now that is not to say we will be perfect, we still have a heart that is prone to sin.
There is a constant battle between our spiritual side and our sinful heart.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?
10 "I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds." - Jeremiah 17:9-10
Christ said, "he would draw all ".
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out.
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." - John 12:31-32
Satan is defeated and Christ is King and Lord.
So your choice is yours!
Your choice to kill in the name of a false religion is yours!
Your choice to follow a path that leads to destruction is yours!
There is an eternity!
Your soul, created by almighty God, was made for an eternity.
Man will be without excuse!
God has made His glory know to all by His creation!!!
19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. - Romans 1:19-21
and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. - Ecclesiastes 12:7
When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish. - Psalm 146:4
There is coming a time of judgement for you.
And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, - Hebrews 9:27
