Romans 12:1-2

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Do you accept?

Let me paint you a picture.

Life is like an open jail cell.

You were born and raised in that cell. You never left it and it is quite comfortable.

Outside the jail cell however is persecution, pain, heartbreak, sickness, death, and grief. Would you want to go out the jail cell?

But the problem is that you hear a Voice and that Voice is telling you to leave your nice jail cell into the world of hate and pain. You want to listen to the Voice, but you also don't want to leave your relatively safe jail cell.

Things can go two ways at this point:

1: You decide that you want to listen to that Voice so you leave your cell and step into the world of hate and pain.

You suddenly feel full and you're actually doing something with your life than just sitting there. You don't need to fill up on other things because the feeling of following that Voice has filled you to the brim. You smile and go on with the hurt and grief with the knowledge that everything will be alright in the end.

At the end, you see a man in white robes take you by the hand and lead you to a palace. He says to you in a gentle voice, "Are you glad you listened to my voice? Now you are with me for eternity."

2: You decide to ignore the voice and you stay in the cell.

One day, a cloaked man suddenly walks in the cell and closes the door. He locks it and throws out the keys. No one can get y'all out now. You look back at the clocked figure. You can't really see his features but you see a sickening smile spread across his face as he pulls out a whip with nails on the end.

He suddenly he said in a raspy voice, "You should have listened to that Voice. Now you are stuck with me for eternity."

✝✝✝

So, will you stay in that comfy jail cell until the cloaked figure comes? Or will you go out of the cell into hurt and pain until you meet the man in the white robes?

It's your choice and no one else's.
