How Will You Vote?

When it comes to eternal things, you only get one vote. Your life is your vote, and you’ll spend eternity living with the consequences of your vote.

How will you vote?

And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come, Matthew 12:31-32

This is a verse about voting. It tells us that your vote matters. But the moment your heart stops beating and you step into eternity, your vote is cast. Your fate is sealed.

How will you vote?

Some of you have already voted. You’ve embraced Jesus and sealed your eternity with him. Others of you aren’t so sure. You have religious baggage or dad baggage or genuine questions about God that make you hesitant to vote for Jesus–to believe in him. Still others have real anger towards or disdain for or even arrogance about matters of faith. You think religion is foolish and religious people are fools. Your vote isn’t sealed yet. God’s grace and mercy are still available to you. But you are in a precarious place. If your heart stopped beating today you would face a horrific eternity–not because God is mean but because he is just.

How will you vote?

I know that many people who do not embrace Christianity read this blog. I beg each of you, humbly reconsider your vote on Jesus. The Holy Spirit is quietly whispering to you about his validity. Please do not reject the Spirit’s voice. He is telling you the truth about Jesus.
