Revelation 21:27 Nothing evil will be allowed to enter, nor anyone who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty—but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
What is idolatry?
Idolatry is anything that distracts you from following or adhering to the will of God.
What each one honors before all else, what before all things he admires and loves, this for him is God.source
Joshua told the people of isreal that their nation would be destroyed if they persists in idolatry, and that their souls would suffer eternal death.
He also said, “You must make your decision today. You must decide whether you want to serve the idols of this life, or the living God.” “Choose you this day, whom you will serve” said Joshua, “as for me and my household, we'll serve the Lord.” What about onyou that is reading this article? Are you on Joshua's side? Despite what it may cost you? What I am saying is that choose this day whom you will serve.
Man's mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain.source
Our families cannot choose Christ for us. Our friends cannot do it either. It is a personal decision. God is a great God, but he can’t make the decision for us. He can only help, if we can decide. We have to make decisions today, even now.
