"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I beseech of you in words of soberness that ye would repent, and come with full purpose of heart, and cleave unto God as he cleaveth unto you. And while his arm of mercy is extended towards you in the light of the day, harden not your hearts.
Yea, today, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts; for why will ye die?"
Jacob 6:5-6
I like the simple message here. Often I think we overcomplicate the gospel, adding in complexity and shades of gray and confusing ourselves, when the core choice is fairly simple. As presented here, why would we ever choose to die? If we trust God and follow his directions, we can get home. Today, let's open ourselves to hear his voice, and be willing to change and improve and become better than we are... God offers us life--a better life than we could ever imagine or attain on our own. Let's reach for it--for him--and choose Life.
