You've Got To Act Upon It

Whether individuals want to be saved or not, the entire world of humanity is savable. Being only savable individuals will do them no good, until they act upon God's salvation plan, receive it, and fulfill it.
Here's an example: Someone puts $100,000.00 in the bank in your name. They give you the account number and show you the proper paperwork which states that the money is all yours. No strings attached.
But this is the most important part: If you never act upon your rights to the money and if you never go to the bank and actually draw it out, then the money will never do you any good. It can’t! Because you never fulfilled the giver's plan to just go and get the money, even if it is yours.
You first had to know about the money and know how to get it. Then the decision was yours, as to whether you drew it out or not.
The same thing applies to God's salvation for humanity. First, you’ve got to know about it, know what it is, and then make the choice as to whether you are going to accept it, receive it, and fulfill it. It’s all up to each individual as to whether they will receive God's salvation plan or not. I don't like the second choice, do you?
