I’ll take my chances

by | Oct 19, 2009 | Answers for Seekers, Christian Theology

I’ve talked to many people who say they will take their chances when it comes to trusting in God. And I’ve always been dismayed as well as perplexed by such casual concern for something as important as one’s eternal destiny. It can only be that the conviction of their sin is not upon them and the desire to do that which is contrary to God rather than please him.

I ask the person if he is willing to take his chances with eternity? Eternity is a long time to be wrong. Why would anyone want to gamble with something as important as their eternal destiny? It takes only a moment to trust Christ for salvation. There will be an eternity of pain and regret if you don’t – without hope of it ending.

You don’t take chances with guns, do you? You don’t take chances and run red lights, do you? Why would you take a chance on something that is far more important than these? Don’t take a chance on something eternal. It isn’t worth it.

Jesus said He was the only way to God. He forgave sins, walked on water, calmed a storm with a command, raised people from the dead, and rose from the dead Himself. No one else in all of history has done that. If He can do all that, don’t you think you should listen to Him?  After all, Jesus warned people about the consequences of entering eternity without having trusted Him. It is wise to consider the truth of the words of Christ who has accomplished so much in miracles and proven his worthiness to his death, burial, and resurrection from the dead. It is proof that what he said is true.
