DECISIONS OR CHOICES
Basic principles on making choices
D.MAKE CHOICES WHICH VALUE GOD’S ETERNAL PROMISES OVER IMMEDIATE PLEASURE.
Lot’s choice of Sodom was based on what would bring him quick gratification, but he didn’t take into account God’s promise to Abram about the land.
After Lot moved to Sodom, the Lord reaffirmed His promise to Abram and even expanded on it (13:14-17)
As believers we are to live by faith in the promises of God. When we face decisions, we take God into account and make those decisions in line with His promises and principles, not the immediate gratification of the flesh. We deny ungodliness and worldly desires in light of the blessed hope of Christ’s return (Titus 2:11-13), trusting that His promises concerning eternity are true.
