Introduction The bible keeps things really simple. For the most part, decisions are decided by an either or. Only twice in scripture is there given a third option. You really cannot have a contrast with more than two objects.

There are two sources of teaching God: Man: Matthew 21:23-27

There are two choices Good or evil Right or wrong Truth or error Life or death In other words—make up your mind. Elijah 1 Kings 18:21 Joshua 24:15

There are two possibilities Heaven or hell Eternal life or eternal punishment Romans 2:7-8

There are two foundations Heeding the words of Jesus Ignoring the words of Jesus Matthew 7:24-27

There are two faiths A living active faith of obedience Or a dead faith. James 2:14-26

There are two ways Broad way that leads to destruction Narrow way that leads to eternal life. Matthew 7:13-14

There are two alternatives Turn from the error of your ways Turn from your wicked ways. Turn from your righteous ways. Ezekiel 18:21-26

There are two appointments Hebrews 9:27 Death Judgment

There are two destinations Heaven Hell

Conclusion You see, the Bible really is that simple. It can be understood and obeyed. Those who do will be rewarded with heaven and eternal life. Those who do not will be punished forever. It is your choice.
