Saying "yes" or "no" to God

[RICHARD H. SKIBA, JR.]

Spoken of frequently in Christianity is a personal relationship with Christ.  One either has that or does not.  God seeks all of the world (John 12:47).

 

God has Given us free will.  Free will is nothing more and nothing less than having the right to say, “no,” to God.  All human sin is committed after one says, “no,” to God.  But Grace allows that same sinner to say, “yes,” to God at other decision points in their life.  Clearly, whether God Exists has a “yes” or “no” answer.

 

Perhaps what needs to be Re-imagined is the practice of religion.  What has been done by religious people has not always been good for the world.  Saying “yes,” to religiosity is too often saying “no,” to God.

Lord, help us to say yes to You and to be faithful... Thank You.
