"Delivered or Trapped?"

“Delivered or Trapped?”

The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.    Proverbs 11:6



There are two situations that mankind is faced with.  One is the situation of being DELIVERED, and the other is the situation of being TRAPPED.  We ALL must choose the situation, in which, we want to LIVE and DIE in.   Let’s look at the first situation, that of being DELIVERED.  When we choose this pathway, we are choosing to ACCEPT God’s gift of SALVATION, by ACCEPTING His Son, Jesus Christ, as our SAVIOR and LORD.  Then we are DELIVERED from our EVIL DESIRES and SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and we are given the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Christ.  When this happens, we choose to FOLLOW Him, and do whatever we think He would do or NOT do.  We are to FOLLOW His example.  And like King David, we can say: “For great is your LOVE toward me; you have DELIVERED me from the depths, from the realm of the dead.” (Ps. 86:13) Spiritually speaking, we will receive ETERNAL LIFE, in Heaven, and ESCAPE the HORRORS of an ETERNITY in HELL, once we are DELIVERED from our SINFUL LIFESTYLE.



However, for those who are TRAPPED by their EVIL DESIRES, the Word of God tells us, that: “Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the RIGHTEOUS will be CONDEMNED. (Ps. 34:21) They are CONDEMNED to spend ALL of ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS.  And they will be SEPARATED from GOD and ALL that is DESCENT and GOOD, for ALL ETERNITY.  But, you NOW have the CHOICE to choose being DELIVERED from your EVIL DESIRES or TRAPPED by your EVIL DESIRES. It’s YOUR CHOICE. 



If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you are TRAPPED, but you can be DELIVERED by:  TURNING AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURNING TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. CONFESSING your sins to Him, and asking Him for His FORGIVENESS.  And BELIEVING with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  Then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and CHOOSE to be DELIVERED from your sins and ESCAPE being TRAPPED in HELL for ALL ETERNITY.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
