The Neutral Gospel

Read: Luke 11:23

 

 

 

One of the reasons the Bible is so attacked today, is because it’s so black and white. It challenges people, it cuts people and it offends people. To the man who says that there is no God, the word replies “Psalm 14:1.” To the man who says it doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you believe something, the scripture would say “Acts 4:12.” To those who say the the whole idea of Christianity is ridiculous and their ideas are much better, the Bible solemnly states “Psalm 2:4.”

 

People today don’t like putting their money down on anything. They much prefer to hedge their bets. But the Bible will not let you do that. You cannot be on middle ground when it comes to Christianity. The scriptures are black and white, there’s no grey areas, no indifference.

 

When it comes to being a Christian, you’re either in or out. You can’t be nearly in, or close to being in. You’re either on the way to Heaven, or on the way to Hell. God does not want neutral. God wants you. You cannot stay indifferent to the gospel. You’re either a Christ accepter or a Christ rejector. You cannot walk out of a gospel preaching, walk away from a gospel tract or a gospel message and stay neutral to the message of Jesus. Even now, reading this, you have another decision to make. Reject the message or accept it. You are either for Christ or against Him. You cannot stay indifferent. 

 

When you stand before God and the judgement seat, you cannot claim ignorance, injustice or indecision. 

 

There was a man in the Bible who tried to stay neutral. Pontus Pilot was in charge of the trial of the Lord Jesus. He tired everything possible to stay as centred and on the fence as possible. Even going as far as to ‘wash his hands’ of the whole affair. But what happened? He ended up sending Christ to the cross. If you try and stay neutral to the Bible, if you try and please everybody, you’ll end up being pulled down.

 

But that doesn't have to be you! Accept Christ today and you can change from a rejector to accepter and enter into everything that God would want to bless you with. Or maybe, you are a Christian, but recently you’ve been watered down and indifferent to the things of God, nows the time to change, for the rest of your time down here, be on fire for God and live for Him!
