One thing about being a follower of Jesus, He teaches us that you either have to be “all in or all out.” Either you’re in Christ Jesus or in Satan. You’re either saved or lost.
As the world gets darker, it’s plain to see that good vs the bad.
Some people like to tap dance along the fence, not deciding one way or another. They put off salvation. They decline to think of spiritual things, but they acknowledge God and His creation and presence of sin. They just don’t do anything about it. But there is no neutral ground, no safe place from which they can simply watch what is going on.
Some have decided that the wisest choice of action is neutrality.
There are two sides to any fence. Simply put, God is on one side, and Satan is on the other. One side is good and the other is evil. On one side you confess Christ Jesus, on the other you deny Him.
Can they remain neutral? Not unless the choice had zero consequences, like deciding whether to put on your morning toast.
In any meaningful choice, neutrality isn’t possible. Climbing onto the fence rails and balancing is a choice and a precarious place. It is a choice against God, good, and light.
With everything going on in the world today, people may choose to sit on the fence. But when it comes to faith, that seat will keep getting warmer until they are forced to evaluate. Sadly, the only side available will be Satan’s side.
We must not fall into the trap of the world and satan lies for those susceptible to distraction, rationalization, and attractive human wisdom.
In Revelation 3:15-16 Jesus tells us, “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot, I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm -neither hot nor cold -I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” This is a warning against spiritual complacency and half-hearted faith, preferring fervent passion -hot, or clear conviction -cold, over useless tepidness.
It’s important to recognize that choice, because it determines which door to eternity will be opened for us.
I for one do not want to hear Jesus say, “Depart from Me, I never knew you” -Matthew 7:23.
