Say Yes to God
Another 'man' centered view of the gospel - poor Jesus has to wait on the all powerful man to decided to accept Him. Is God helpless to save the lost?

CHOOSE ye this day Whom ye will serve...It's NOT arrogant of man to sing 'I have decided to follow Jesus'. God indeed calls us. We likewise respond by saying 'YES'.
man is powerless without JESUS there is only one decision to make and that is to except JESUS without you making a decision then one has already been made for you.
bottom line is heaven or hell.
thank you 1st anonymous!
Often the literal meaning gets obscured by the details of ones theological position. The simple truth is that our mission is to preach the gospel to every creature, the Father draws sinners to the message by divine grace and men are commanded to repent and believe the gospel. The human mind is actively engaged but will only believe unto salvation under the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the regenerative work of the Holy Spirit imediately preceeds repentance and faith and so man will not "freely choose" without this gracious gift of God. "no man comes to me (Jesus Christ) unless the Father draws him."
the way the sign reads to me is that Faith is given so GOD may not be worth seeking if one has faith one is not lost one doesn't get god
