Holiness is a CHOICE

Holiness is a CHOICE. Without holiness, no man shall see God. No sinners will come into the presence of God. To REPENT, turn away from sin and to follow Jesus and obey Him, that is a DECISION. You need to MAKE UP YOUR MIND to STOP SINNING, to stop going after the desires of your own flesh and to follow Jesus, to obey Him. It is entirely up to us, whether we want to do it or don’t want to do it. But it is a decision you have to make, it is a choice.
The wages of sin is DEATH. If you go on sinning, you will end up in hell. You need to make up your mind and make that choice to be holy, to set yourself aside for Jesus, for the Kingdom of God, to make yourself available to Him. It is your decision to go and watch television, to watch pornography, to do wrong things, it is a DECISION. People often make it difficult on themselves because they expose themselves to temptation. If you want to follow Jesus and you WANT to be holy you make it easy on yourself. You AVOID situations and circumstances that are temptation where you can fall into sin. You are very careful to stay away from temptation and you stay focused on Jesus. But you need to make up your mind. If YOU don’t decide to do it, you won’t do it. You need willpower and selfcontrol. If you don’t control yourself you will fall into temptation and Jesus said: "WATCH and PRAY that you do not fall into temptation because the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." Our flesh is weak. If we give ourselves the chance, then we will fall into temptation but we must RUN AWAY FROM TEMPTATION. Rather DIE than sin, Jesus said: "If your eye makes you stumble pluck it out and throw it away from you, it is rather better to go through life maimed than to end up in hell with all your faculties." You need to decide that you want to be holy. You need to decide to follow Jesus and if you don’t make up your mind you won’t do it and you WILL end up in HELL.
Without holiness no man shall see God. It is not easy on anybody. Those who want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven will go there through temptation, through trials but ONLY OVERCOMERS who stood in temptation, only they will won the prize of life. You need to make up your mind. HOLINESS is a DECISION.
May Jesus bless you.
