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 of 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.
Charles Spurgeon said, “If God be God, follow him; if Baal, follow him. You are not decided in practice. Men’s opinions are not such things as we imagine. It is generally said now-a-days, that all opinions are right, and if a man shall honestly hold his convictions, he is, without doubt, right. Not so; truth is not changed by our opinions; a thing is either true or false of itself, and it is neither made true nor false by our views of it.”
1 Kings 18:21 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.
