And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, how long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. (1 Kings 18:21)
Not only were the people listening to Elijah awed by the presence of the king and the priests of Baal on the one side; and of Elijah on the other, but they were “convicted of their own conscience,” and so were quite speechless when asked this question. As the KJV says it: “How long halt ye between the two opinions?”
Now this kind of “speechless” was the same kind of “speechless” that Creator had talked about in Mat 22:12
And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
The contemptuous rejection of Bible Truth, in favor of something that is not truth is not acceptable to God. Often when we are caught between the two opinions, we too become speechless. As if we are muzzled or tongue-tied. When confronted by “the truth as it is in Jesus,” we are bound by our unbelief, and tied up with no reply. We have nothing to say. Our silence condemns us.
We are so blessed to have someone like Jesus. The Book of heaven tells us in 2 Tim 2:13 “If we are unfaithful, God is faithful, for God cannot be untrue to Himself.”
Friends, these are very troubled times we are living in. And during moments like this, we need to stop hesitating between two opinions and give voice to our Creator. God does not want to share our hearts with any other. Ever. Creator wants all of it because He gave us all of Him.
“God died for us while we were still sinners. This shows God’s undying love for us.” (Rom 5:8)
While we were still sinners! Wow! Such amazing words! Words of Truth. Words of Hope. Jesus came here to be with us that we might “sit with Him in heavenly places.”
God is rich in mercy, and he loved us very much. We were spiritually dead because of all we had done against him. But he gave us new life together with Christ. (You have been saved by God’s grace.) Yes, it is because we are a part of Christ Jesus that God raised us from death and seated us together with him in the heavenly places. God did this so that his kindness to us who belong to Christ Jesus would clearly show for all time to come the amazing richness of his grace. (Eph 2:4-7)
Jesus came here for us. Jesus came here to die for us that we might live for Him.
How long will you hesitate between two opinions?
