Weekly Words of Instruction

In the Bible you can read of Jesus Christ speaking out against the false religion of the Scribes and Pharisees, and for doing so, they tried to kill him (John 7:1, 11-13, 19-26; John 8:37-40). When a religion places a death sentence on anyone who either quits the religion or speaks against it, such should serve to make people wary of that religion. Christianity is the faith founded by the son of God, Jesus Christ, Himself; and there is salvation only in Him (Acts 4:12, 11:26). But know this, Jesus will not kill you, or have you locked up in jail, if you refuse to become a Christian. Jesus doesn't force Himself upon any person, but rather He said, "let him who will, come," (Matthew 11:28-30, Revelation 22:17).

With Jesus, one will never see a so called "holy war" being fought against those who are considered infidels, nor an overthrow of the government, nor a terrorist plot to put fear into people for not choosing to be Christians (Matt. 26:52-54, John 18:36). Serving Jesus Christ is a choice, not an order. You have free will, and yes God would love to have you be a Christian, serving Him, but the choice is yours.
