Joel 3:14 “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.” “What shall I do with Jesus which is called Christ?” Matt. 27:22 Decide = to make a final choice or judgment about, to select as a course of action

There are times when we must make a decision

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15 IdolsGod

Obedient Faith Heb. 5:8-9 “all them that obey him.” Rom. 6:16-18 “obeyed” “made free from sin” 1 Pet. 1:22 “purified your souls in obeying” Faith Only Jas. 2:24 “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” John 12: believed but did not confess
