DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEART!

HEBREWS 4:7

"Today when you hear His voice, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS."

There is no question that in this day and age you will have the opportunity to hear God' voice. We are in fact inundated with television, books, churches and evangelistic people who are constantly telling everyone about God. You will not be able to use an excuse at the time of judgement that you never heard about Jesus Christ and His Salvation. You heard it many times and in many ways. The message has been clear, Jesus Christ Saves you from your sin and gives you eternal life with Him. The problem is most non believer's would like to believe that they are good people and that sin is an arbitrary concept. Not to God.

Non believer's have to harden their heart and purposely turn from God in order to avoid the Truth. The are ashamed of what they have done and they know that they have committed evil and immoral acts. They do not want to repent, in fact they prefer the darkness of their lives to the light of the Lord. If they admit to their sin then they must in fact acknowledge that they need a Saviour. They can not save themselves and no one else but Jesus Christ the Lord God can. They would have to bend their knee and confess with their tongue that Jesus is the Lord. Do not worry they will do it either by choice or by the judgement of God.

Today you will hear the voice of God whispering, talking or shouting to you to come home to Him and be saved. The question is will you listen? His voice is available in so many ways and is impossible to avoid. The question is will you listen? When you hear His voice and it will be today, will you listen? If you harden your heart you will by choice condemn yourself and your judgement will be perfectly just. You make the choice on what you listen to and hear and then act on. TODAY WHEN YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEART!
