VERSE:
Mark 16:16
16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned."
LESSON:
Belief - Believe and be saved
This verse may seem quite stern. There is no way to soften the intended message being sent here. We all have a choice in life, to believe, or not to believe in Christ Jesus. As is the case with most things in life, choices have consequences. It is also so with your choices of believing in God/Jesus....or choosing not to believe. The choice is actually very clear and very easy to accomplish, for those who what to. Believe, be baptized...and be saved, or disbelieved and be condemned. It is your choice. Your free will. No one if forcing you. How would you accept the direction of your Physician if he/she told you that unless you choose a method of treatment, you would die very quickly. This lesson is no different of a choice, although it may take longer for the consequences of your decision to be realized. The choice is yours. Believe and be saved.
