* Choices… we love choices…
* Many restaurants to choose from Italian, Greek, Burgers, sit down, take out, delivery…
* Then when we order a meal… we can have choices like soup, salad or fries…
* When we order a new car… all kinds of choices… paint colour… pick the interior… options galore
* In a democratic society a high value has been put on choice… choose your M.L.A., M.P., Municipal government… lots of choices…
* But something strange has happened… that very choice we treasure has become god… it has become the chief end of man… the right to choose…
* The abortion debate isn’t a debate about life… it is about lifestyle… it isn’t about health… it is about choice
* The gay marriage isn’t a debate about equality… it is a debate about choice…
* The man who wanted to have safe sex flyers printed… ones that graphically displayed gay-sex and ultimately forced a “Christian” business man to print them….
It wasn’t about the printing….
It was about his choice…
* Unmitigated… choice…
* And the church has bought in…
* We serve when we choose
* We give when we choose
* We show up when we choose
* We worship when we choose
* We even think we become believers when we choose….
* That is a mistake…
* Choice is not God here… The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are God here… we do not bow down to choice….
But to Jesus Christ.
* Justification is not by Choice…
* Justification is by Grace through Faith in Christ alone
* A gift from God….
God centred salvation

Biblical:
/through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; He appeased God… was our propitiation /Romans 3:25b This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; 26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
27 Where then is boasting?
It is excluded.
By what kind of law?
Of works?
No, but by a law of faith.
28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.
29 Or is God the God of Jews only?
Is He not the God of Gentiles also?
Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.
