Willful Rejection

“In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.” Acts 17:30 (NIV)

God does not hold men accountable for what they do not know, but for what they willfully reject. We either turn toward Him or we turn away from Him. Do not think anyone has a claim of excuse, because even without the Scriptures, men have the revelation of nature and the magnificence of creation that testifies to the existence of a loving God.

Our choice is repentance from our sins or rejection of truth. In that we give evidence that we are responding to the convicting power of the Spirit of God or are willfully rejecting the light that we have been given.

Let’s pray today to fully accept and follow the Lord Jesus Christ as we learn of Him.
