God’s Choice

Hey Brother John,

During a recent meeting I gave a testimony about a relative being baptized in a river and how she rejected the truth about the holy Ghost baptism. Her rejection of the truth saddened me, and the next day I was feeling kind of down about it. Then a thought came to me which was this; “You didn’t get yourself here, and you can’t get them here either.” That thought lifted that burden off of me. It reminded me that anyone coming to the truth is a work of God.

My question is this. Isn’t it also true that when someone leaves the truth, that’s also a work of God?

Yes, Billy.  Whenever anyone walks away from the truth of Christ, it is that God has judged them unworthy of it.  We cannot judge the truth; rather, it judges us. Jesus said something like this:

 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.  He who rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John. 47-48).
