Every individual will have to come to a decision concerning the Lord Jesus Christ. Joshua sent the challenge: "If it is unacceptable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 25:15 In other words he is saying, are you going back to sin? Are you going to fit in and live the way the world, the society, tells you to? Or are you going to live for God? You choose. The people said they would serve the Lord. Joshua said, you can't serve Him because He is an holy God; He is a jealous God...
Jesus made a way for you to live with God. He washed away your sins with His blood so that you can be set free, be quickened, and become holy.
Jesus said in Luke 12:51, "Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division." There is no middle ground. Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, "Who is on the LORD'S side?" There is the Lord's side and there is the world, the flesh, and the Devil's side. James said, "You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God." John said of Jesus that He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. The Lord wants you to be on fire for Him. Revelation 3:16 states, "So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth."
James says if you lack wisdom you should ask of God: "But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind...Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do." It is all for Jesus or nothing. A lot of people think they will get away with being whatever they are: playing with sin and the Devil while their mouth is sweet towards Jesus. Jesus knows the heart: they can't fool him. They might fool God's people sometimes, but be sure that their sins will find them out. They are like King Saul. Samuel said to him, "Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance is like the wickedness of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He has rejected you as king."
God does not play around with people's lives. If you follow Him whole heartedly, He will see you through this life. If you reject Him, He will reject you. Jesus gave His all for us to have eternal life. No one will have any excuses on judgement day. Jesus died to destroy the works of the Devil and set us free from the bondage of sin. Hebrews 10:26, 27, and 29 tells us, "For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remained no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us."
When Jesus returns to be glorified in His saints, every eye will see Him, the good, the bad, the ugly and whatever falls in between. And He will execute judgment. Read Jude for yourself.
If you will serve Jesus, you must forsake sin and the flesh, and let Jesus make you pure. The Bible tells us how to live for Jesus. Read, believe, and live the Bible. Talk with Jesus all the time, and dwell in His presence.
