12/11/2024 – Day 171 – 1 Kings – Chapters 14 – 18 / Chapter 18: Showdown between the LORD and the prophets of Baal, no doubt on that outcome.
“And Elijah came to all the people, and said, ‘How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him, but if Baal, follow him.’ But the people answered him not a word.” (1 Kings 18: 21)
And further to the post from last cycle dated 08/17/22, “The Evidence Bible – NKJV” offers this verse commentary:
“Indecision is a deep valley that will take multitudes to hell. Think of the millions who have a form of knowledge about God, but they have never seen the real issues that are at stake. If our Creator is the God of the Bible, then hell is a reality for those who transgress His perfect Law. But through the gospel, God sets before humanity the way of salvation. All we need do to find everlasting life is repent and trust in Jesus Christ, and yet millions have never resolved to do that. They ‘believe’ but do not obey. If the gospel is true, then we should run at it with all our strength and embrace it with absolute resolution. If it is not true, then we should run at this world with all of its sinful pleasures, eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.”
Soli Deo Gloria!
