When God Speaks, Do We Listen?

Posted on by Tangie

Do we listen to what we think is right in our own mind, or are we listening to God and following Jesus? Be mindful that only God decides who inherits eternal life, or eternal damnation.

“My sheep hear My voice, and know them, and they follow Me; And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and the Father are One.” (John 10:27-30)

  2. Actually God wants all to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4) and to repent (2 Peter 3:9).
    God doesn’t choose who to save and who to condemn to hell. We make that choice ourselves based on whether we’ll obey the Gospel or not.

    HEAR
    Romans 10:17 Matthew 7: 24-27 John 5:24

    BELIEVE Mark 16:15-16 John 8:24 John 3: 16

    REPENT Acts 17:30 Luke 13:3

    CONFESS Matthew 10:32-33 Acts 8: 36-37 Romans 10: 9 Philippians 2: 10-11

    BAPTISM
    Acts 2:38
    1 Peter 3: 21
    Acts 22: 16
    Mark 16:15-16 Matthew 28:18-20

    FAITHFULNESS Hebrews 10:25-26
    1 Corinthians 15: 58 Revelation 2:10 James 2: 14-26
    I John 1: 6-7

    Jesus died for all, not just a select few (2 Corinthians 5:14-15).

    1. I concur “God does not choose who to save and who to condemn to hell. We make that choice alone based on whether we’ll obey His Word or not.” The question is when God speaks do we listen and obey. As free moral agents you are definitely right, we choose to obey His word and follow His Plan of Salvation or harden our hearts; either way, the eternal consequence is Hell or Heaven. Romans 1:20-21 “….so that they [we] are without excuse.

  4. Bonsoir TANGIE

    Après un tendre et doux réveil
    C’est la seule manière de se lever du bon pied
    C’est de se persuader que la journée sera pleine d’agréables surprises
    D’autant plus que nous commençons la semaine
    Je te souhaite un bon appétit avec un bon petit déjeuner, un bon diner une bonne soirée
    SURTOUT
    Garde le sourire, ta bonne humeur
    N’oublie pas que la vie est courte
    Profite de chaque petit moment de la vie car ceux-ci ne reviendront jamais
    Je te souhaite une journée ou soirée radieuse et pleine d’optimisme
    Même si parfois les choses ne sont pas toujours comme nous le voudrions
    Alors ce jour passe une agréable journée avec un petit bouquet de fleurs

    Bisous amicaux ton ami Bernard

    1. Bonjour Bernard, tu as raison de ne pas oublier que la vie est courte. Je suis d’accord que la vie est courte et nous devons en tirer le meilleur parti à chaque instant que Dieu nous permet de vivre. L’optimisme est important. Merci d’avoir lu et commenté. Passez une merveilleuse journée / nuit et restez en sécurité.
