Jesus said, “If you are not on my side, you are against me” (Matthew 12:30). The call comes to each of us individually, to you and to me. Are we with God or are we against Him? Are we on His side or are we on the other side? Are we going to give our lives to Him, or are we going to give our lives to something else?
How you answer these questions determines everything important about your life. You can never be truly happy unless you side with God. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life…My peace I give you” (John 14: 6, 27).
Reject Christ and you betray yourself. Spurn his call to discipleship and you betray your own future. In John 15:5, Jesus warned, “Apart from me you can do nothing”—at least nothing of eternal value or significance.
But when you accept the call, everything changes. “For if a man is in Christ he becomes a new person altogether—the past is finished and gone, everything has become fresh and new. All this is God’s doing, for he has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
So, the time has come to choose. What will you give your life to? Whose will you be? “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts” (Hebrews 3:7-8)
