Do we choose to serve Jesus? Or do we choose to serve the devil? Jesus has plans for us, to prosper us and to give us a hope and a future.
Jesus said,
"I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be
saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for
to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and
that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good
shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." - John 10:9-11
When we choose Jesus, we choose Life. By the gospel, we turn
from sin and give our life to Him. Peter preached the gospel on the Day of
Pentecost, that Jesus died for our sins, He was buried, and that He rose again
the third day.
"Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their
heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren,
what shall we do?
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every
one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to
all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
“And with many other words did he testify and exhort,
saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
“And they continued
stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread,
and in prayers." - Acts 2:37-42
That day, about three thousand souls chose to serve Jesus.
"And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in
them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate,
saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And
will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the
Lord Almighty." - 2 Corinthians 6:16-18
